The U.S. Treasury flag is described as follows:

Flag: Mintleaf green, upon which the shield rests on an eagle. In the eagle's beak is a scroll with the words "The Department of Treasury." The obverse of the scroll is "Old Glory blue" with white letters and the reverse is white with dark gray. In the claws, the eagle holds a second scroll with the date of creation "1789" in white.

Shield: The background of the shield is yellow with brown outlines and yellow-orange shadows. On the right is an oak branch and an olive branch on the left. There is also a blue chevron with 13 white stars. Below the chevron is a white Treasury key and above the chevron are balanced scales in white pivoting on a blue anchor.

The flag was approved on January 11, 1963 by Secretary C. Douglas Dillon and first displayed on July 1, 1963.
