Description
The Great Seal is a principal national symbol of the United States. First used in 1782, the seal is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the federal government of the United States. Since 1935, both sides of the Great Seal have appeared on the reverse of the one-dollar bill. The coat of arms is used on official documents—including United States passports—military insignia, embassy placards, and various flags. The Seal of the President of the United States is directly based on the Great Seal, and its elements are used in numerous government agency and state seals.
- Contains 1 oz. Troy of .999 Fine Silver
- Obverse: A bald eagle, the national bird and symbol of the United States. Above the eagle is a radiant cluster of 13 stars arranged in a six-pointed star. The eagle’s breast is covered by a heraldic shield with 13 stripes that resemble those on the American flag. As on the first US flag, the stars and stripes stand for the 13 original states of the union. The eagle holds a ribbon in its beak reading “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, a Latin phrase meaning “Out of many [states], one [nation]”, a de facto motto of the United States (and the only one until 1956). Both the phrases “E Pluribus Unum” and “Annuit coeptis” contain 13 letters. In its left talons the eagle holds 13 arrows, and in its right talons it holds an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives, representing, respectively, the powers of war and peace.
- Reverse: A barren landscape dominated by an unfinished pyramid of 13 steps, topped by the Eye of Providence within a triangle. At the base of the pyramid are engraved the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI (1776), the date of American independence from Britain. At the top of the seal stands a Latin phrase, “ANNUIT COEPTIS,” meaning “He favors our undertaking.” At the bottom of the seal is a semicircular banner proclaiming “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM” meaning “New Order of the Ages” that is a reference to the new American era.

I never knew the great seal could be so detailed!
TMD429 (verified owner) –
Absolutely stunning! I bought one in BU and one in antiqued finish. Both are magnificent in their own ways. The BU one has an amazing satin-like sheen that just looks so good. The antiqued just has that aged feel where the silver looks very velvety and has almost an old war medal feel to it. Definitely a must buy. I will be getting more as soon as they come back in stock!

Got the antiqued finish – worth every cent. Quality and attention to detail in this round is on par with sovereign mintage. Shipping time was not bad either. Intaglio has shot to the top of my list of favorites, will definitely be coming back for more very soon!
