Flags whose reverse differs from the obverse


This article contains a list of flags for which the reverse is different from the obverse. It includes current as well as historic flags of both nations and national subdivisions such as provinces, states, territories, and cities. When the flag is that of a nation, the Subdivision column is blank. For present-day flags the Dates column is typically blank.
The list below includes flags for which the back is the mirrored reverse of the front. It does not include flags whose back is the mirror image of the front, as is the case with most asymmetric flags. Mirrored reverse flags are much less common and contain an element for which a simple mirror image would be problematic, such as text or a geographic feature. Flags with truly different images on each side are even rarer. The only UN-recognized nation whose present-day flag contains a unique image on each side is Paraguay.
