The Mexican Flag Royalty-Free Stock Photography

The Mexican flag is a tricolor flag featuring three vertical stripes of green, white, and red, from left to right. In the center of the white stripe is the national coat of arms, which depicts an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, clutching a snake in its beak and talon. This emblem symbolizes the Aztec heritage and the founding myth of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. The green stripe represents hope and prosperity, the white symbolizes purity and peace, and the red stands for the blood of those who fought for Mexico's independence. The current design was adopted on September 16, 1968, though its origins trace back to the early 19th century.
