DescriptionSecond Great Seal of the US BAH-p257.png |
Second Great Seal of the United States. The second great seal, adopted at the same time, was never used. It was intended for stamping the wax on a ribbon attached to a treaty or other important paper, thus making a hanging seal. The Latin motto "Annuit Cœptis," above the all-seeing eye looking down with favor on the unfinished pyramid, means "God has favored the work." The date MDCCLXXVI, or 1776, marks the Declaration of Independence. The Latin motto at the bottom, "Novus Ordo Seclorum," means "A New Order of Ages,"—or a new order of things, such as we have in this New World of America. |
