thirteen stars
Flag's first count
Thirteen stars is a design element representing the original thirteen American colonies, appearing on the first U.S. flag and various national symbols.
The pattern persists on currency, military insignia, and the Great Seal.
The flag's thirteen stars were arranged in a circle.
