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.
