Album 2000 [pay00]
shows a white flag with white border, in the middle the
national emblem and in each
corner a yellow Sun. As far as I am aware, this is the
first representation of the presidential flag with the
white border. I guess that this is a recent
development.

In Album 1995 [pie95]
The elements of the flag are much larger then in
Album 2000 [pay00],
especially the suns (6-pointed) that unproprtionally larger
and not allowing for any border. In my opinion, whole this
image is errorneous, it doesn’t look anything like
flags reported earlier ([smi75],
[neu92]) nor latter
([pay00]).

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with the national emblem in the
middle and four yellow Suns. The relative dimensions are given, overall
proportions 20:30; emblem size 10:10 in the middle of the flag, and the
center of each Sun is 5 units from both closest edges. If
Album 2000 [pay00] is correct,
this is slightly changed nowdays.

Natn’l Geo.1917 [gmc17] says:
502. Ensign and President. 2:3
Usage of the ensign as presidential flag
is notable.
