Flag of Mongolia
Article 12 of the Constitution defines the tricolour and 1:2 proportions. It says blue represents the eternal blue sky and red represents progress and prosperity. Soyombo is a national emblem, not a separate coat of arms in the centre.
The constitutional design places the gold Soyombo on the red band next to the hoist. The emblem is a distinctive part of the flag, while the three bands form its basic layout.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
