Montana State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #3036580 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Montana features a royal blue field with the word “MONTANA” in golden-yellow serif letters at the top. Centered below is the state seal, which includes a scenic landscape of mountains, a river, forests, a plow, and a pickax-representing agriculture and mining-beneath a rising sun and the Spanish motto “Oro y Plata” (Gold and Silver). Adopted in 1905 and updated in 1981 to add the name, it reflects Montana’s identity as the “Treasure State.”
