The coat of arms of the state of New Jersey includes: A shield with three plows, representative of New Jersey's agricultural tradition. A forward-facing helmet. A horse's head as the crest of the helmet. The female figures Liberty and Ceres, representative of the state's motto (see next item). Liberty is holding a staff supporting a stylized Phrygian cap; Ceres is holding an overflowing cornucopia. The streamer at the foot of the emblem contains the State Motto of New Jersey, 'Liberty and Prosperity', and the year of statehood, 1776. It was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777 and was modified slightly in 1928. The seal is the central motif in the flag of New Jersey and the great seal of the state of New Jersey. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
