Flag of the South-Peruvian State

South-Peruvian flag

The flag of the South-Peruvian State was composed of a vertical field of red on the left and two horizontal on the right of green (above) and white (below). In the red band, a sun and four surrounding stars were superimposed on the top representing the four initial departments. It is presumed that during the life-time of the South-Peruvian State the fifth star was added on the sun, in the emblem, representing the Coastal Department, a situation that is evident in the coins minted by the same State. The colors of the flag represent the union of the common colors of Peru and Bolivia, since South-Peru represented the union and integration of both countries.
