| The name of this state flag
is easily identifiable by the large gold lettering, MONTANA. The
state seal in the center shows some of the state's beautiful scenery
and reflects the pioneer activity at the time. A brilliant sun
rises over mountains and forest and the Great Falls of the Missouri
River. The state motto at the bottom of the seal, in Spanish,
means - Gold and Silver. The name Montana is the Spanish word
for mountainous. The design of the seal dates back to 1864. Montana
is sometimes called - The Treasure State. |
