Stars & Bars.
The 13 stars stand for the 13 colonies

The thirteen stars on the old American flag represented the thirteen colonies.
Unlike the stars used to represent officers of flag rank (Admirals) which point upward, the stars on the anchor of the Senior Chief Petty Officer and the Master Chief Petty Officer point down because they do not THEMSELVES represent a higher rank as do the one, two, three, and four stars of Admirals as they are promoted (five star Admirals... and Generals for that matter... exist only in time of war). The anchor and star(s) of the Senior and Master Chief Petty Officer TOGETHER represent rank.

Shield nickels (1866 to 1883) had the numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars. Early-date shield nickels also had decorative rays between the stars but these were later eliminated because they were difficult to strike. Liberty nickels (1883 to 1912) had the Roman numeral V (= 5) surrounded by a wreath. Indian head nickels (1913 to 1938) carried an image of a buffalo (or bison). The image was based on the famous animal named Black Diamond who lived at the Bronx Zoo.
