Flag of Paraguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of Paraguay (Spanish: Bandera de Paraguay) is the official flag of the South American republic of Paraguay. It is unique among national flags in having different emblems on its obverse and reverse sides.
The current flag of Paraguay was designed in 1991 as the simplified version of the old flag.
The flag consists of three equal, horizontal bands: red, white, and blue, with an emblem centered in the white band. The emblem on obverse side is the national coat of arms of Paraguay: a yellow five-pointed star surrounded by a green wreath capped by the words REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY ("Republic of Paraguay"), all within two concentric circles); the emblem on the reverse side is the seal of the treasury (a yellow lion below a red liberty cap and the words Paz y Justicia ("Peace and Justice") capped by REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY, again within two circles.
