The coat of arms was adopted in 1844 through the passing of the Law establishing the state symbols of Dutch Lower Saxony by the States-General of Dutch Lower Saxony. The coat of arms was proposed to the Hoge Raad van Adel, who accepted it with minor alterations. The originally proposed two crowns - one borne by the supporter, another set atop the escutcheon - was limited to a single crown borne by the supporter.

abstract
  • The coat of arms was adopted in 1844 through the passing of the Law establishing the state symbols of Dutch Lower Saxony by the States-General of Dutch Lower Saxony. The coat of arms was proposed to the Hoge Raad van Adel, who accepted it with minor alterations. The originally proposed two crowns - one borne by the supporter, another set atop the escutcheon - was limited to a single crown borne by the supporter. Dutch Lower Saxony opted specifically not to include the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau, je maintiendrai. There have been several attempts to add the motto to the official blazon, most recently in 2014 with the Law to amend the Law establishing the state symbols of Dutch Lower Saxony in order to include the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau. The law was rejected 76 to 44.
