US State
The flag of the U.S. state of Nevada was adopted in 1929, when governor Fred B. Balzar signed into law a bill adopting the new flag. Its design consists of a solid cobalt blue field with, in the upper hoist quarter, two crossed sprays of sagebrush forming a half-wreath. Centered within the wreath is an upward-pointing silver star, with the state's name arched below it in evenly spaced golden-yellow letters. Above the wreath is a golden-yellow scroll touching its tips, bearing the words "Battle Born", one of the state's mottos.
The Great Seal of the State of Nevada is the seal of the U.S. state of Nevada. The insignia is derived from the seal of the Nevada Territory, first described in legislation enacted by the territorial legislature in 1861. The territorial design featured a quartz mill, a miner with a U.S. flag, and the Latin motto Volens et Potens, which was intended to symbolize Nevada's commitment to the Union and its natural wealth. It was officially adopted as the state's seal in its current form by statute in 1866 during the second session of the Nevada Legislature.
Nevada is one of the 50 states of the United States of America. Each US state has its own official seal, flag, motto, and a range of state symbols including a state bird, flower, and tree.
