Durán [drn95] reports
the following for the pre-1975 flag of the
municipality headed by the city of São Tomé (not
for the whole island!): Flag gyronny (city
rank) of blue and white (in the usual variants of 2:3 and 1:1),
the arms over all. This is gules, five open cacao nuts set in saltire
(Durán says «in palo», «per pale»,
but the illustration shows per saltire, which is much more
logical…), shells or, seeds argent lined
sable; bordure argent with seven eschuteons azure, each with
five bezants argent per saltire. Mural crown or (overseas
province capital rank) of five towers (city rank), white
scroll reading in black capitals CIDADE DE SÃO
TOMÉ.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 08 August 1999
