São Tomé city

Municipal flag in the colonial era

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
