The Mexican flag is the rectangle divided into three identical (vertical) stripes that are colored in the following order, from left to right: green, white and red. The Mexican National Coat of Arms is placed in the center of the white stripe.

The Mexican Coat of Arms
The main features of the Mexican Coat of Arms are the Aztec eagle (standing in side-facing position and holding a curved serpent in its beak and the right talon), cactus (on which the eagle is standing on), lake and the rock (on which the cactus is situated on) and the branch of oak and the laurel branches.
The inspiration for the Mexican Coat Of Arms was an ancient Aztec legend. In short, Aztecs gods told the Aztec to build a city in the spot where they see an eagle and serpent. The Aztecs honored their gods whish and build the city which is present Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.
