Do the seven spikes on lady liberty crown mean the seven contidents?

The seven spikes on the crown of the Statue of Liberty are often thought to represent the seven continents, but this is not officially confirmed. Instead, they symbolize the seven seas, which is a nod to the statue's role as a beacon of freedom and democracy for the entire world. The design emphasizes the universal values of liberty and enlightenment rather than a direct representation of continents.
