Theflag of the Rohingya people was created in the mid-20th century. It is currently used byRohingya communities around the world.[1]
The flag's design is a green field charged with a yellow coin containing a white inscription. The design of the coin is taken from anArakanese coin from the 16th century. Green represents peace, gold represents prosperity, and white represents purity. The coin is a reference to coins used by Rohingya in the 16th century, and itsArabic text is theshahada surrounded by the names of theFour Righteous Caliphs ofIslam:Abu Bakr (top),Umar (bottom),Uthman (left), andAli (right). The obverse and reverse of the flag vary in order for the shahada to be able to be read properly on both sides.[1][2]
