Flag of Algeria

The national flag of Algeria (Arabic: علم الجزائر, Berber: Acenyal n Dzayer) consists of two equal vertical bars, green and white, charged in the center with a red star and crescent. 
The flag was adopted on 3 July 1962. A similar version was used by the Algerian government in exile from 1958–1962.
The Western blazon is per pale Vert and Argent; a crescent and star Gules.
Algerian ships fly it as their ensign, except for ships of the Algerian National Navy, which use one charged with two white crossed anchors in the canton as the naval ensign. Formerly, the two crossed anchors in the canton were red.
