The meaning of the flag of Mexico colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Mexico following independence from Spain during the country's War of Independence. The current flag was adopted in 1968, but the overall design has been used since 1821. Throughout history the flag has changed eight times but has featured an eagle holding a serpent in its talon, perched on top of a prickly pear cactus, the cactus situated on a rock that rises above a lake. The coat of arms is derived from an Aztec legend that their gods told them to build a city where they spot an eagle and a serpent, which is now Mexico City.Your choice of standard sizes!
