The Seal was adopted first in 1823, before that the republican government used only the Emblem which incorporated elements from the Coat of Arms of both the Principality and the Empire.


The Seal reads on the top, "Official seal of the Republic" in Anserisan and on the bottom, "Republic of Anserisa" in Anserisan. The two elements are separated by white stars.

The Seal of Anserisa (Anserisan: Sigillo Officialo d'Anserisa) is the official seal of the Republic of Anserisa and is used to authenticate the official documents issued by the government of Anserisa.

It was a way to remember the past and to try establishing a new republic. The emblem also referred to the newly adopted Flag of Anserisa. The election of Auréliano Regulum saw a great institutionalization of patriotism and the adoption of republican symbols and the creation of a republican identity and thus a Congressional Committee was formed to develop a new emblem that would be unique to the republic. The idea for a national seal gained traction and was enacted by a Act of the Congress of the Republic in 1823[1], making it official. Other governmental institutions followed and adopted seals based on the national seal. It is featured on the Anserisan Passport.
