This image is not redundant! Altough it is an other version of the coat of arms of The Netherlands it is this one that is commonly used. For example, this version is used on the official website of the Dutch Royal Family. (See: [1])

Other versions:

Perhaps a better version since the top crown does not have a blue infill

other PNG version

non official SVG version - not to be used, lacks pavilion and 3D effects

Public domain Coat of arms of a Dutch official authority

This image depicts a coat of arms of a (former) Dutch governmental jurisdiction, municipality, province, water board (Dutch "Waterschap") or diocese. These coats of arms have been registered with the Hoge Raad van Adel [2], and are still being used in rubber stamps. Although forging of municipal/provincial rubber stamps is forbidden, every person is allowed to use the image of the arms. Actually 'using' it (The impression of the coat or seal) may be restricted. See memo MinBiZa (Dutch).

Fragment from the memo: The depiction of a municipal coat of arms is allowed: the municipality holds no rights of creation of the coat of arms. There is also no objection against the use of a municipal coat of arms al for localising objects that are traded or that are being advertised, just as long it is ensured that no impression of municipal involvement or responsibility is created.

In view of Dutch legislation this image is regarded as being in the public domain, as are reproductions of this coat of arms.
