inscribed on the reverse of the Great Seal

Annuit Cœptis means the Eye of Providence has approved of our undertakings.

Novus Ordo Seclorum means a new order of the ages

The front of the seal has meaning as well The bald eagle with its wings out holds thirteen arrows in its left claw, (referring to the thirteen original states), and an olive branch, in its right claw, which symbolizes that we have a desire for peace, but will be ready for war.

The eagles head is turned to face the olive branch which again symbolizes a preference for peace and he holds the motto E Pluribus Unum which means Out of Many, One
