The beautiful emblem of the Coast Guard is featured on a brass circle. The words say UNITED STATES COAST GUARD 1790. In the smaller circle are the words SEMPER PARATUS - which translates to ALWAYS READY.
The dark mahogany wood colored plaque has an easel on its back which you can use or just hang the plaque on a wall. Arrives in a satin lined box. Click on the 2nd and 3rd images to see plaque in its presentation box and the back of the plaque when standing.
GREAT VALUE!
