Pennsylvanian Flag Paper Plate

This design features the state flag of Pennsylvania, officially known as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The flag was first adopted in 1778 and it features the coat of arms of Pennsylvania, an official emblem of the state. The state motto is also displayed: "Virtue, Liberty and Independence". Perched on top of the coat of arms is a bald eagle, which is intended to represent Pennsylvania's loyalty to the United States. Pennsylvania is, indeed, one of the 13 original founding states of the Union. The two most populous cities in the state of Pennsylvania are Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The state capital, however, is Harrisburg.
