Mexican Flag - Official National Symbol of Mexico #2250762 (License: Personal Use)

The Mexican flag consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and red, with the national coat of arms prominently displayed in the center of the white band. The emblem depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake, rooted in the Aztec legend of Tenochtitlan’s founding. This design was standardized in 1968 and reflects Mexico’s rich indigenous heritage, colonial history, and revolutionary spirit.

Used on government websites, educational resources, cultural exhibitions, and travel guides; ideal for pages about Mexican history, national identity, or international symbolism.
