Origin and Meaning of the Motto Above the Eye of Providence on the Great Seal. Annuit coeptis is the Latin motto suggested in 1782 by Charles Thomson, the Founding Father chosen by Continental Congress to come up with the final design for the Great Seal of the United States.lthough Thomson did not provide an exact translation of Annuit Coeptis, he explained its meaning in conjunction with the Eye of Providence in a triangle surrounded by rays of golden light (a glory proper) in the zenith of an unfinished pyramid :
And then, of course, we come to âthe eye.â The eye at the top of the pyramid is hidden right in plain sight, but its meaning has been shrouded in mystery since it first appeared on the one dollar bill. The eye appears to be floating and emitting large rays of light. So what could this symbolize? Some argue that the eye represents the presence of God watching over America.
