The Paraguay flag was adopted on November 27, 1842, making it one of the world's oldest flags. Paraguay gained independence from Spain on May 15, 1811. The practice of having a separate emblem on each side of the flag dates back to the time of José de Francia who was in power from 1814-1840.
From 1608 until their expulsion from the Spanish dominions in 1767, the Jesuits maintained an extensive establishment in the south and east of Paraguay. In 1811, Paraguay revolted against Spanish rule and became a nominal republic under two consuls.
The national flag of Paraguay was formally adopted in 1842. The flag consists of three horizontal bands of red, white, and blue from top to bottom, an emblem in the center.
The flag of Paraguay has three horizontal bands of equal width in red, white, and blue from to bottom. Unlike any other national flag, the flag of Paraguay is unique in that the front (obverse) of the flag of Paraguay is different from the back (reverse). On the front of the flag, the national coat of arms is placed in the center of the white stripe. Centered on the back of the flag is the seal of the national treasury.
The treasury seal features a lion sitting beneath a liberty cap mounted on a staff; it is framed by the national motto, “Paz y justicia†(“Peace and justiceâ€). Although the same basic design has been in use since 1842, there have been many modifications in the artistic rendition of the coat of arms and treasury seal.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Papua New Guinea flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Papua New Guinean flag for the future.
