Flag of Peru - Official National Symbol and Historical Significance #208523 (License: Personal Use)

Peru’s national flag consists of three vertical bands-two red outer bands and a white center-adopted on February 25, 1825. The coat of arms in the center features a vicuña (representing fauna), a cinchona tree (flora), and a cornucopia spilling gold coins (wealth), all encircled by a laurel wreath and tied with a red-and-white ribbon. The red symbolizes the blood shed for independence, while white stands for peace and justice.
