Great Seal of the Irish Free State
- Great Seal of the Irish Free State
The Great Seal of the Irish Free State ( _ga. Séala Mor do Shaorstát Éireann) was the seal which was used to seal official documents of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) by the Governor-General. The Great Seal is currently kept at "National Museum of Ireland" at Collins Barracks, Dublin.
The reverse of the Great Seal contains an image of the harp surrounded by the words "SAORSTÁT ÉIREANN" in Gaelic script, the obverse contained an image of "George V, King of Ireland" enthroned. After the Constitution of Ireland was enacted the "Presidential Seal" was struck as a replacement to the Great Seal.
