Flag of Bolivia

This national flag features three equal horizontal bands of red, yellow, and green arranged from top to bottom. Positioned in the center of the middle yellow stripe is the national coat of arms, which includes an oval shield surrounded by flags, muskets, and a condor. The design is specified with an aspect ratio of 15:22 for official use.

Red symbolizes the blood spilled by national heroes during the struggle for independence and the preservation of the republic. The yellow stripe represents Bolivia's mineral wealth and natural resources, while the green band signifies the fertility of the land and the hope of the citizenry. Within the coat of arms, the depiction of Mount Potosí commemorates the nation's historical mining industry, and the Andean condor represents the concept of liberty.

The current tricolor was officially adopted on October 31, 1851, during the administration of President Manuel Isidoro Belzu. Prior to this version, the nation utilized different configurations, including an 1825 design with green and red stripes and an 1826 version that placed the yellow band at the top. Subsequent decrees in 1888 and 2004 standardized the proportions and the details of the central coat of arms. In 2009, the Wiphala was also recognized as a dual national flag to represent the country's indigenous heritage.
