The CoA of Rijnwoude consists of elements from the arms of the former municipalities Benthuizen, Hazerswoude and Koudekerk aan den Rijn.
The golden star on the shield has been taken from the arms of Hazerswoude. The silver eagle is from Koudekerke, and three green peat-blocks are from the arms of Benthuizen.
The High Council of Nobility granted the CoA on 13 Oct 1992 to the municipality of Rijnwoude. It has been designed by Willem Vis.
