The Flag of Mauritania
Adopted on 1 April 1959, Mauritania's flag emphasizes its African location, its majority Islamic faith and the name of the nation - Republique Islamique de Mauritanie. The colors green and gold are two of the Pan-African colors which reflect Mauritania's position as an African nation. The star and crescent are well-known Islamic symbols. The flag's proportion is 2:3.

Paige Herring, 13 June 1998

Carr 'Flags of the World', 1961, [car61] mentions "the Decree [on the adoption of the flag] signed on April 1st 1959". Rabbow, in 'DTV-Lexikon politischer Symbole', 1970 [rab70] states: 'The flag is anchored in the Constitution of 22 March 1959.'

Carr (op. cit.) has this: "An emerald green flag, proportion three to two, bearing a crescent and five-pointed star, in gold, in the center thereof." Znamierovski [zna99] has this: "The green and the crescent are both symbols of Islam; the green also represents hope for a bright future. The yellow stands for the Sahara Desert."

Jarig Bakker, 5 July 2000

According to a friend from Mauritania, the flag was selected (perhaps also designed) personally by the former president Mukthar Ould Dada.

Jaume Olle, 11 July 2000

It appears there is no existing official specification of the construction sheet. In most examples, it seems that the larger circle forming the crescent very roughly (depending on the source) matches the "73 of the hoist. The inner circle, at least in Album 2000, seems to match 60% of the hoist. The star seems to be inscribed in a circle with diameter around 1/4 of the hoist. Also, it seems that the horizontal line of the star if extended would just touch the horns of the crescent - but these are all speculations.
