Coat of arms Coming soon

El Salvador's flag has two blue bands framing a white centre bearing the national coat of arms. The blue stripes represent the two oceans bordering Central America and the sky, and white stands for peace. The arms show a triangle with five volcanoes for the region's original federation states, echoing the flag of the old United Provinces of Central America.
