Flag of Peru

Aspect Ratio 2:3

The current flag of Peru was adopted in 1950.  This design was a variant on an earlier design by Torre Tagle, which featured a red Sun of May as the central emblem. The Sun of May was replaced by the Peruvian coat of arms in 1825 during Simón Bolívar's administration. In the coat of arms there is featured the national animal, the vicuña, representing the nation's fauna; the cinchona tree, representing flora; and a cornucopia, representing the nation's mineral resources. The red and white colors, derived from the nation's first flag by General José de San Martín, were inspired by parihuanas, red and white flamingos. In 1950 President Odría updated the coat of arms to it's current design, as well as established an emblem-less flag for civilian use.
