The seal features Lady Justice holding scales and a sword on the left, symbolizing law and order; on the right, a pioneer farmer with a pickaxe and shovel represents industry and settlement; a large buck stands above a mountainous landscape with a river, trees, and a plowman with a horse-highlighting Ohio’s natural resources and agrarian roots. Below, sheaves of wheat, corn, grapes, and other crops emphasize fertility and prosperity. The Latin motto “Eston Perpetua” (It Shall Be Forever) crowns the design.
