The oldest known seal of Au dates from 1520 and shows an eye. The eye was a canting element (from Auge, eye). The two later seals also show the arms with the eye. In a seal from 1718 the eye appears above a duck's claw. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the eye completely disappears and the seal shows the duck's claw in a circle. | The oldest known seal of Au dates from 1520 and shows an eye.
