Minnesota State Seal - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Minnesota State Seal is an official emblem representing the U.S. state of Minnesota. Designed in 1861 and officially adopted in 1863, the seal features a beaver at the base of a tree, symbolizing the state's fur trade history. The upper half of the seal showcases a farmer plowing, signifying Minnesota's agricultural industry, while a mining scene on the lower right represents its significant mineral resources. The shield is encircled by a ribbon bearing the state motto: "L'ÉTOILE DU NORD" or "The Star of the North." This symbol plays a crucial role in reflecting Minnesota's identity and history as one of the northernmost states in the United States.
