AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Romanian flag from the early communist period, featuring the original state coat of arms with the inscription RPR (Republica Populară Română).
The printing on the flag is originally hand-embroidered from the period.
This type of flag was used before the name change to the Socialist Republic of Romania in 1965.
This flag hails from the period when Romania was a communist people's republic. The central emblem with sun, mountains, forest and ears of grain symbolizes the socialist ideology and national identity of that time.
Notably, the coat of arms is completely intact. After the 1989 revolution, many flags had the emblems removed, making complete specimens like this increasingly scarce.
The red and yellow portions are cotton, the blue stripe is cotton/linen mix.
The blue section of the flag has a few scratches, otherwise the flag is intact.
dimensions: 142x95 cm
