Montana State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #30391 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Montana consists of a field of azure blue with the word “MONTANA” in golden letters arched above the state seal. The seal depicts a scenic landscape with the Rocky Mountains, a river (likely the Missouri), a plow symbolizing agriculture, a pick and shovel for mining, and a setting or rising sun with the motto “Oro y Plata” (“Gold and Silver”) at the bottom. The flag was officially adopted in 1905 and revised in 1981 to add the state name for clarity.
