Description: A die of unknown origin and use, nearly identical to the original 1782 Great Seal of the United States but with intentional differences, which was supposedly owned by George Washington. It turned up in 1894 and is now preserved at Mount Vernon. This photograph is reversed, to indicate what an impression would look like.
