National flag and civil ensign

The national flag and civil ensign is shown by Smith [smi75c] as an horizontal triband green-white-red with proportion 4:7.

According to Smith, the basic tricolor dates from the Constitution of 14 August 1905, with artistic alterations in 1912, 1933, and ca. 1964. From the chronology, the change from 1:3 to 4:7 proportion most probably occurred ca. 1964.
