Introduction

Concerning books on Bolivian flag History, I got the impression that Alquizaleth [vzz83] Calderón & Cortéz [a2d01] conflict in several aspects, the later being perhaps more reliable.

J. G. Fuentes [fue75] shows the variants of the Bolivian flag 1825-26, the Bolivian monochrome official flags 1854-55 and the arms of Bolivia 1888-c1900 and since c1900.
Dave Martucci, 19 Mar 2000

According to [mch85a], the flag with its present order of stripes was introduced in 1851 but a number of variations had been used since Bolivia gained independence in 1825.

Changes in the coat of arms means, that the flag was a little bit different, too.
J. Patrick Fischer, 12 May 2004

However, it is not certain that each change on the coat of arms caused an equivalent change on the contemporary flag — either by law or use.
