History
The first seal was stolen in 1645 by Richard Ingle during a rebellion, but a similar one was sent as a replacement by Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore. This seal was used except for a period from 1692-1715 until a new one was adopted in 1794. That seal used republican imagery, such as a woman holding scales of justice on the obverse and on the reverse the motto "Industry the Means, Plenty the Result".

Current seal Reverse side The text encircling the seal is in Latin (Psalm 5 from the Latin Vulgate Bible) showing the phrase Scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos, which translates to "You have crowned us with the shield of your goodwill." The state motto on the banner features the Italian phrase, Fatti maschii, parole femine, which translates literally as "Manly deeds, womanly words." This phrase, which was once also the motto of the Calvert family, is now for a more politically correct time expressed as "Strong deeds, gentle words."
