In 1964 the mayor at the time, Van Rooy, took the initiative to change the arms. His idea was that the arms should depict the history of the town.

The second quarter shows St. Pancratius, properly dressed, and the third the proper Valkenburg lion. The fourth quarter indicates the importance of mining for the region and the town. | In 1964 the mayor at the time, Van Rooy, took the initiative to change the arms.
