Current Coast Guard ensign

The image by Željko Heimer and Yosef Obskura is not a current polish CG ensign. It is abandoned ensign of Wojska Ochrony Pogranicza 1945-1990 (WOP - Border Protecting Forces,  submitted to Ministry of Defence) In 1990 WOP was tranformed into Straz Graniczna - Frontier and Coast Guard, submitted to Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Current polish Coast Guard ensign (pl~cg91.gif), adopted  on 20th December 1991 is rectangular (not swallow-tailed).
The eagle on COA has crown, as all polish flags since 1990-1991.
