What do the symbols mean on the New York City seal?

 

On the shield, the four windmill sails recall the city's Dutch history as

New Amsterdam, and the beavers and flour barrels signify the

city's earliest trade goods. Specifically, the flour barrels and

windmill sails represent the tremendous wealth generated by

New York City from the Bolting Act of 1674.
