US State
The coat of arms of the U.S. state of New York was formally adopted in 1778, and appears as a component of the state's flag and seal.
The state seal of New York features the state arms surrounded by the words "The Great Seal of the State of New York". A banner below shows the New York State motto Excelsior, Latin for "Ever Upward", and the secondary motto E Pluribus Unum, Latin for "Out of Many, One"—adopted in 2020.
New York 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.
