The Golden Seal is a royal heirloom in the Kingdom of Obel used to authenticate the serving monarch of that nation. It usually remains in possession of the reigning monarch of the time but can be passed on to someone else for ceremonial transfer of political power such as the situation when Lino En Kuldes gave the Golden Seal to Lazlo, in order to signify Lazlo's leadership of the Island Liberation Navy, even over Lino himself.
