Flag of Mongolia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The current flag of Mongolia was adopted on February 12, 1992. It is similar to the flag of 1949, except for the removal of the socialist star. It has three equal, vertical bands of red (hoist side), blue, and red. Centered on the hoist-side red band in yellow is the national emblem ("soyombo" - a columnar arrangement of abstract and geometric representation for fire, sun, moon, earth, water, and the Taijitu symbol).

[edit] Historical Flags

Before 1992, the flag of the People's Republic of Mongolia displayed a yellow star on top of the Soyombo, symbolizing socialism. The blue stripe was also darker.
