flag of Socialist Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina (People's Republic of, Narodna Republika Bosna i Hercegovina until 1963; then Socialist Republic, Socijalistička Republika Bosna i Hercegovina, until 1991), had a flag without historical precedence.

The flag was red with a small, yellow fimbrated Yugoslav flag in canton. The flag in canton was very small, less than 1/4 of length. Red stood for comunism. The flag was officially adopted on 31 December 1946.
Before the flag was adopted, a red flag with a yellow bordered red star in the middle was sometimes attributed to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The flag in real use had, not unusually, a much bigger canton, and most often, the Yugoslav flag was in a "free canton", that is offset from the edges and bordered in white.
