Arizona State Flag
The 13 rays of red and gold on the top half of the flag
represent both the 13 original colonies of the Union,
and the rays of the Western setting sun. Red and gold
were also the colors carried by Coronado's Spanish
expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in
1540. The bottom half of the flag has the same Liberty
blue as the United States flag. Since Arizona was the
largest producer of copper in the nation, a copper star
was placed in the flag's center. Flag adopted 1917
