you need to tell me what coin so i can tell you.
On the American banknotes.
The olive branch of peace... yet the arrows allow for the preparedness of war!
there are no buildings on the back. just the bald eagle with the arrows, and the olive branch.
eagle holding 13 arrows and an olive branch with 13 leaves
The Eagle's right talons - which are on the left of the viewer - hold an olive branch. The left talons - which are on the right of the viewer - hold 13 arrows (representing the original 13 colonies). The Eagle looks toward the olive branch because peace is preferred, but the arrows represent that the country is prepared to go to war if peace fails.
The animal is an eagle, holding arrows in one foot and an olive branch in the other.
There are 13 arrows in the left talon of the eagle. The right talon has an olive branch which represents peace. The olive branch is in the right talon because it symbolizes that the peace is more important than the arrows.
The animal is an eagle, holding arrows in one foot and an olive branch in the other.
It is the Presidential Seal. The seal is an bald eagle holding arrows in his talons and other symbols around him.
The thirteen leaves are those of an olive branch, a traditional symbol of peace. The 13 leaves on the olive branch symbolize the original 13 colonies. The 13 arrows represent the potential threat to their freedom. The eagle faces the olive branch representing the United States' desire of peace. However, the country always stands ready to fight if necessary.
the arrows in the eagle left claw symbolizes military power that the Americans had or have.
The bundle of arrows on the Great Seal represents power in war, and the power of unity. The head of the eagle is facing right, towards the olive branch, in times of peace.
In one talon the eagle clutches arrows (representing war) and in the other talon an olive branch (representing peace) The eagles head is turned facing the olive branch to represent peace. I read somewhere that in the oval office there is actually a carpet brought out in times of war that has the eagle head facing towards the arrows.
