1:2Blue flag with the coat of arms (i.e. emblem from the
obverse of the national flag) in the middle
surrounded with four yellow five-pointed stars in corners. This
presidential flag is matching with the new artistical redention of
the coat of arms, in use since early 1990.

According to official website of the paraguayan
presidency, the coat of arms shows a yellow star on blue
disc; the 3 blue-white-red thin circles
should reportedly be replaced by a thick red circle.

Album’s 1995 recapitulative issue
[pie95] shows this flag without the name
of the state inscribed in the red ring. This is I guess an error rather
than the variation used in early 1990’s.

1:2The previous presidential flag (before 1990) included the
central emblem that was not exactly the same as the obverse emblem
in the matching national flag.

Smith’s 1975 [smi75b] and subsequent books
(1980, 1982
that I know of) shows a presidential flag of the time. (Ratio is given as
≅1:2 and indication that it is a reconstruction based on written sources only.)
The flag is blue with a variation of the coat of arms — as on obverse on the
national flag minus name of the state, and with four yellow five-pointed stars
in corners.

To my understanding the design of the emblem was rather freely interpreted
in these years, so both versions could have been equally used.

2:3Actually, the original page of [neu39]
shows the emblem with the blue and golden background within the wreath.
Željko Heimer, 28 Oct 2002
2:3The subsequent correction page 137 (issued in second part of
[neu92]) shows only the star within the
wreath — no background and no “shadow-lines” below the star. This being the
only difference I noticed, and apparently only reason for the update of this
page. If Neubecker considered the change important enough to issue the
correction sheet, he must have had good reasons for it.
