Seal of San Francisco, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The seal, which was adopted in the 1850s, depicts two working men, on one side a miner and on the other a sailor with a sextant. Above is a rising phoenix and behind is the bay with sailing ships. The phoenix symbolizes the city's emergence from the ashes of several devastating fires in the early 1850s.
