Overview

Limon Province adopted a flag Limon (first hoisted 21 July 1992). Curiosely the governor of Limon (Mm. Florita Wing Ching Sandi) answered my request since she was a member of the jury that selected the design. Before that, two other designs were in use,  but they were unofficials.

Coat of Arms


by Fred Drews, 21 November 1999

Limon: a sailing ship represents a maritime province, the key is a connection to the Roman Catholic church (see the Vatican flag, for example), and the tree would be a local crop - could it be banana?  The wreath is laurel (peace) and coffee.
