Paraguay’ s flag appears to be just a normal flag, but in reality their flag is very unique and original. Paraguay is the only country that has a flag with a different front and back. The front of the flag contains the National seal, while the back of the flag contains the Treasury seal.

Each side has three equally sized stripes, the first one red, the second white( where the seals are each placed in the very middle of the flag), and the third blue.

The National flag’ s colors were inspired by the French flag. The colors of Paraguay’ s flag each have a special symbolism of the country. The red stripe of the flag represents equality and patriotism. The white stripe represents purity, unity, and peace. The blue stripe represents liberty and peace.
