Bissau city had until (at least) 1975, year of the independence
of Guinea-Bissau, a municipal flag similar to those of
portuguese municipalities, with the golden
mural crown given to overseas province capitals. The flag was gyronny of
black and red and the coat of arms was argent a tower gules flanked by to
Native’s heads (turned to the middle — how is it in heraldese?)
proper dressed and “lipped” gules. White scroll with "CIDADE
DE BISSAU" in black capitals.
