Presidential flag according to W.Smith's "Flags and Arms
Across the World".
Ivan Sarajcic, 15 April 1999
It is shown in DK Pocket Book, with the following comments:
"The President's standard has a white panel in place of the
star and contains the state arms. The coat of arms dates back to
the 17th century and the time of Dutch rule, but was revised in
1959 and again in 1975. On the shield, a ship reflects commerce,
a diamond mining, and a tree agriculture. The supporters are
Amerindians. The national motto - "Justitia, Pietas,
Fides" meaning "Justice, Piety, Faith".

Marcus Wendel, 9 September 1999
According to Album 2000 [pay00]:
President of the Republic (2:3) - The national flag with white
rectangular pannel containing the coat of arms. It seems that all
sources agree that the height of the CoA is equal to the height
of the red stripe. This flag would probably introduced at the
same time as the national flag, or only shortly afterwards.
