Design

The flag's design is a green field charged with a yellow coin containing a white inscription. 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).
