Description of the flag

Blue crescent pointing upwards on an white field.

Tlemcen, now called Tilimsi since the Algerian toponymic reform, was the capital of the Central Maghreb in the XIVth-XVIth centuries.

This flag is shown by Znamierowski [zna99], who does not give precise sources for the flag. He mentions, however, that the first flags with the crescent appeared on portolans and navigation maps of XIVth century.
