Different coats of arms on each side
Paraguay’s red-white-blue flag carries the national coat of arms on its obverse and the Treasury coat of arms, bearing “Paz y Justicia”, on its reverse. The two sides use different emblems, so the same image should not be reproduced on both faces.

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.
