Summary

Description

English: Flag of Afghanistan from 2004-2013.

«The flag of Afghanistan shall be made up of three equal parts, with black, red and green colors juxtaposed from left to right vertically. The width of every color shall be half of its length, and at the center of which the national insignia shall be located. The national insignia of Afghanistan shall be comprised of an emblem and a pulpit in white color—at the two corners of which are two flags, inscribed in the top middle the holy phrase “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his Prophet, and Allah is Great.” This shall be inscribed and superseded on rays of a rising sun, and in its lower part, the year 1919 in the solar calendar, and the word “Afghanistan” encircled on two sides by sheaves of wheat shall be inscribed. The law shall regulate the use of the flag and insignia.», (Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Art. 19)

From 2004 until 2021, the national flag of Afghanistan consisted of a triband of black, red, and green. Earlier renditions of the flag frequently showed the flag with a smaller set of arms within the central band, despite no mention of the specific size of the emblem within the law. Overtime, the flag appeared with both the smaller set of arms and the enlarged coat of arms, which contained the emblem overlapping upon the black and green bands on the sides. Both variants were widely used in Afghanistan and are thought to have been introduced in 2013, despite evidence that they existed prior to that, making the small arms variant merely a variant.
