Image: Depicts the Michigan state seal, which was inspired by the seal used for the Hudson Bay Fur Company. A man stands at
the edge of a peninsula inside a shield, with a ribbon underneath that reads "Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice,"
or "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.." The shield is held by a moose and an elk that face each other. Just
above the scene in the shield is the motto "Tuebor," which means "I will defend." An eagle is depicted just above the shield,
along with "E Plurubus Unum."
