Coast Guard Seal
The Coast Guard Seal is a pair of crossed anchors superimposed by a life ring with shield and surrounded by a line grommet. The Seal must not be reproduced outside of the Coast Guard.

The wall plaque reproduction of the Seal may be loaned on license agreements to service-related organizations.
