X. Double-Cross Coat of Arms Watermark. A regularly repeating pattern of crowned coats of arms, upright and inverted as well as lying to the left and right.

Depending on the format of the stamp, this watermark pattern appears in either an upright or sideways orientation.

The watermark orientation can be determined from the relative positions of the coats of arms and the direction in which the cross on the crown leans, provided the relevant part of the watermark and the crown cross are visible on the stamp. In each orientation, two positions can be distinguished: the normal position and its mirror image.

Possible watermark orientations and positions

• A1: the upright coat of arms is to the left of the inverted one; the left-facing coat of arms is above the right-facing one; the crosses on the crowns lean to the left;
• A2: the upright coat of arms is to the right of the inverted one; the left-facing coat of arms is below the right-facing one; the crosses on the crowns lean to the right;
• B1: the upright coat of arms is to the right of the inverted one; the left-facing coat of arms is below the right-facing one; the crosses on the crowns lean to the left;
• B2: the upright coat of arms is to the left of the inverted one; the left-facing coat of arms is above the right-facing one; the crosses on the crowns lean to the right.
