Official Flag of Mexico - History, Symbolism, and Design #2251127 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Mexico consists of three equal vertical bands-green (hoist side), white, and red-with the national coat of arms prominently displayed in the center. The emblem features a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake, symbolizing the founding myth of Tenochtitlan. A golden crown atop the eagle was added during the Second Mexican Empire (1864-1867) and later retained as a symbolic element of sovereignty.
