The Great Seal of the State of Georgia is a device that has historically been used to authenticate government documents executed by the state of Georgia.[1] The first great seal of the state was specified in the State Constitution of 1777, and its current form was adopted in 1799 with alterations in 1914.[1] Its specifications are currently spelled out by statute.
