Detail of the coat of arms Flag at the Plaza de la Independencia, Granada, Nicaragua
The flag of Nicaragua was first adopted on September 4, 1908, but not made official until August 27, 1971. It is based on, and inspired by, the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, with a blue and white triband and a coat of arms as the charge in the centre. Its flag is one of the few that currently use the color purple, due to the rainbow in its coat of arms.
