Confederate Seal

The Confederate Seal was the seal of the Confederate States of America.

The seal prominently features the likeness of George Washington on horseback, in the same position as a statue of him in Richmond, Virginia. Washington is surrounded with a wreath, which is made of some of the main agricultural products of the Confederate States, including tobacco and cotton. The margin of the seal features the words "The Confederate States of America: 22 February 1862" and the national motto, Deo Vindice ("Under God, Our Vindicator"). The date on the seal represents when Jefferson Davis was inaugurated after the first and only Confederate general election, and is also Washington's birthday.

The seal was designed shortly before the demise of the Confederacy, and was apparently never used in any official capacity.
