Great Seal of the United States (U.S. coat of arms)
The Great Seal of the United States is used to certify the authenticity of certain documents issued by the US federal government, such as executive orders appointing ambassadors and other US government officials, US ratifications of international treaties, US presidential messages to foreign heads of state, and others.
The Great Seal of the United States is held by the United States Department of State in Washington, D.C. The official custodian of the Great Seal of the United States is the US Secretary of State.
The central element of the obverse side of the Great Seal of the United States is often used as the coat of arms of the United States. So, for example, it is used on the cover of the US passport, on letterheads and as an element of seals of US government organizations and in other cases.
The part of the Great Seal used as a coat of arms is colored, its print on paper, attached to documents, is embossed, but monochrome.
The design of the seal of the President of the United States is based on the design of the Great Seal.
The Great Seal of the United States of America has two sides. The front side (obverse) depicts one of the symbols of the United States, a bald eagle, which holds in one paw thirteen arrows, a symbol of war, and in the other an olive branch, a symbol of peace, with thirteen leaves and thirteen olives. This symbolism means that the United States “wants peace, but is always ready for war.” The eagle’s head is turned towards the olive branch, which symbolizes a penchant for peace. On the chest of the eagle is a heraldic shield with thirteen vertical alternating red and white stripes, above which is a horizontal blue stripe (the colors of the US flag are repeated on the shield). Eagle holding in its beak a scroll with the US motto E Pluribus Unum(“Out of many, one”). Above the head of the eagle are thirteen stars in the form of a six-pointed star on a blue cloud.
The reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States (reverse) depicts an unfinished pyramid of thirteen rows, above which is an eye in a triangle, the “All-Seeing Eye”. The date of the formation of the United States is marked on the pyramid in Roman numerals – MDCCLXXVI (1776). Above the pyramid is the inscription Annuit Cœptis (“Our undertakings are blessed”). On a scroll under the pyramid, another US motto is depicted – Novus Ordo Seclorum (“Order of a new era”).
The repetition on the Great Seal of the United States of various elements in the amount of thirteen is not accidental. It was thirteen states (Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, North Carolina and South Carolina) that originally formed the state of the United States of America.
