Flag of Georgia (U.S. state)

Rare card · No. 73561

The flag of the U.S. state of Georgia bears three horizontal stripes (a red-white-red triband) and features a blue canton containing a ring of 13 white stars that encircle the state's gold-colored coat of arms, with the motto of the United States, "In God We Trust", below. Its current iteration was adopted on February 19, 2003. The overall design is based on the First National Flag of the Confederacy, which was nicknamed the "Stars and Bars". Since Mississippi's vote to change their flag design in 2020, the Georgia flag remains one of the few state flags with references to the Confederacy. It is one of three U.S. state flags to include the United States national motto, "In God We Trust", the other two being those of Florida and Mississippi.
