The Great Seal of Westarctica is a sterling silver seal that was created in 2004 under the direction of the [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] as a gift for [[Grand Duke Travis]]. The arms on the seal are the arms of the McHenry Family, but curiously, not the arms historically used by Travis McHenry's ancestors in Northern Ireland. The arms on the Great Seal of Westarctica show a falcon, while the historical arms of the McHenry-O'Cahans from Dunseverick contained three pelicans in a similar style to the arms of the Scottish Clan Henry. | The Great Seal of Westarctica is a sterling silver seal that was created in 2004 under the direction of the [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] as a gift for [[Grand Duke Travis]].

The Seal was stolen from the Minister sometime between December 8 and December 15 of 2020. It has never been recovered. His failure to report the theft in a timely matter led to the Minister's summary retirement from all governmental offices and duties. | The Seal was stolen from the Minister sometime between December 8 and December 15 of 2020.

On 27 April 2021, a new Great Seal of Westarctica was commissioned by Grand Duke Travis from British jeweler Dexter Rings. This new seal was crafted from sterling silver and bears the legend "Fortvna Favet Fortibvs" (Latin: ''Fortune favors the Bold'') with an image of an [[emperor penguin]] standing on [[Peter I Island]]. | |||
