Seal

image located by David Sigley, 26 September 2023

The seal depicts a town skyline with mountains in the background. The main building in the foreground is the Dahlonega Gold museum. In the lower half of the seal is a river with the outlines of someone canoeing and someone extracting minerals from the river. Between them is the phrase "FIRST MAJOR U.S. GOLD RUSH." This refers to the Georgia Gold Rush, which began in Lumpkin County. On the first embankment is a shovel and pickaxe with the town's name in Cherokee along with the establishment year.

The seal features the town's name in Cherokee, "ᏓᎶᏂᎨ", spelled in letters of the Cherokee syllabary; in the Latin spelled Cherokee orthography thats’s "Dalonige".
