The left side band of green occupies a two-fifth of the ensign’s length, while the right-hand red band adopts the remaining.

A coat of arms with Portugal’s conventional shield is centralized on the Portuguese flag where the two shades of the flag congregate.

Red interprets the Portuguese uprising in 1910 while Green symbolizes optimism. Five blue shields graced with five white dots comprise the white shield.
