Great Seal of France information


Great Seal of France
Great Seal of France
Obverse (left) and reverse (right) side of the great seal, adopted in 1848; 176 years ago (1848). The headdress of the Liberty featured on the obverse side is similar to that of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World), which would be offered by the French people to the U.S. people 40 years later. Both are republican symbols.

The Great Seal of France (French: Grand Sceau de la République française) is the official seal of the French Republic. After the 1792 revolution established the First French Republic,[1] the insignia of the monarchy was removed from the seal. Over time, the new seal changed. At first, it featured Marianne, symbol of the revolution. It evolved to show that the people developed their culture and politics. In modern times, it depicts Liberty, along with aspects of culture such as art, education, and agriculture.
