Design

The flag's design is a green field charged with a yellow coin containing a white inscription. The design of the coin is taken from an Arakanese coin from the 16th century. Green represents peace, gold represents prosperity, and white represents purity. The coin is a reference to coins used by Rohingya in the 16th century, and its Arabic text is the shahada surrounded by the names of the Four Righteous Caliphs of Islam: Abu Bakr (top), Umar (bottom), Uthman (left), and Ali (right). The obverse and reverse of the flag vary in order for the shahada to be able to be read properly on both sides.[1][2]
