Great Seal of the United States of America (USA) Watch

This design features a black-and-white illustration showing the Great Seal, which is one of the principal national symbols of the United States of America. First used in 1782, the seal is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the federal government of the United States. It shows the coat of arms of the United States, which features a bald eagle holding an olive branch, symbolizing peace, and a bundle of thirteen arrows, symbolizing war. Since 1935, the Great Seal has appeared on the reverse of the one-dollar bill. The coat of arms is also used on many official documents such as United States passports, military insignia, embassy placards and various flags.
