The national flag of Nicaragua was officially adopted to represent the country on 4 th September, 1908. The Nicaragua Flag can be described as having three equal bands of blue, white and blue respectively from top to bottom. The three bands are arranged horizontally. The Nicaragua Flag also bears the national coat of arms at the center of the white band. The coat of arms in the Nicaragua Flag is in the shape of a triangle that is bordered by the words REPUBLICA DE NICARAGUA at the top and AMERICA CENTRAL at the bottom. The triangle in the flag of Nicaragua signifies equality. The five volcanic mountains in the coat of arms represent Central America's five original states.
