This version of The Great Seal of the State of Ohio along with the state motto was installed on the West Plaza of Capitol Square in 1996. The seal and motto are made of bronze and embedded in granite pavement at ground level. The combined display is ten feet, nine inches tall by twelve feet, four inches wide. The letters of the motto are almost six inches in height. The coat of arms is a round picture of the sun rising over Mount Logan and the Scioto River. A wheat bushel represents agriculture. Seventeen arrows represent Ohio’s place as the 17th state in the Union. The sun has 13 rays protruding outward, representing the original 13 colonies of the United States of America.
