Emblazoned on a dark blue field is the state

coat of arms. The goddess Liberty holds a pole with a Liberty Cap on top. Liberty stands

for freedom. At her feet is a discarded crown, representing freedom

from England at the end of the revolutionary

war. On the right is the goddess, Justice. She wears a blindfold and carries the scales of justice. Meaning that

everyone receives equal treatment under the law. The state motto "Excelsior" on a white ribbon expresses the

idea of reaching upward to higher goals. On the shield a sun rises over the Hudson highlands

and ships sail the Hudson river. Above the

shield is an eagle resting on a globe representing the

Western Hemisphere.
