This flag was hoisted for first time on 6 June 1823, after the
proclamation of independence from Mexico (10 May 1823). I think
that the six pointed star symbolized six districts, but I don't
know what these were, perhaps Chiapas, Guatemala, San Salvador,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras, or six
"Ayuntamientos" of the territory (I read about the two
versions).
