Supposed diameter of the seal is half the flag’s height, and supposed 
ratio is 2:3.

The flag of the province is blue with coat of arms (more 
like seal) in its center. The 
pictures 
of the flag and the coat 
of arms at the 
official website 
are not very good. As far as I can understand, the flag was adopted in 
1986.

The flag of Chepén was adopted in 1986 by the Provincial Council 
presided by Alcalde Don Walter Quesquén Terrones. It is made of 
a celeste blue field with the provincial coat of arms 
in the middle.

This coat of arms is more like a seal.

In 1984, the province of Chepén was created. Alcalde Cristian Díaz 
Prado requested the design of a coat of arms, based on ideas proposed 
by Councillor Don Joe Medina Astudillo . The coat of arms was designed 
by Don Segundo Ruiz.

It shows a map of the province (with dots for Chepén, Pacanga and Pueblo 
Nuevo, but not Talambo, the fourth district of this province) on wheat and 
maize ears tied with a ribbon patterned after the Peruvian 
national flag on a light blue disc (seemingly lighter than the flag 
background). This is encllosed in a red and white rim, divided per saltire in 
four quarters, reading the motto «Generosa y Viril» 
(«Generous and Manly»!) at the top, «Provincia de 
Chepén» at the bottom, «Ley 23910» on the 
left and «8 Set. 1984» on the right, all in bold serif 
capitals, white on red (top and bottom) and black on white (left and 
right).

A photo 
at the official website shows a plain blue flag flying along the 
national flag of Peru in what seems to be an official location.
