When the provinces got their arms in the 16th Century, Hälsingland was well
known for its goats, which explains the animal in the coat of arms. The flag is
a banner of the arms. I based the image on the type image of the arms made up in
Riksheraldikerämbetet (Office of the National Heraldist) when the arms were
regranted with a modernized blazon in 1938.
