Historic Afghan flags

Home → Archive → Flags

Afghanistan’s national symbols have changed many times, reflecting shifts in government, political ideas and the way the state presented itself.

This is the flag collection from the original Afghan Desk website. It is retained as a visual archive rather than a definitive guide. Some dates and designs in older web collections may differ from specialist references, and no image below is labelled as the current national flag.
