As many former French colonies in Afrika the flag of Bénin is inspired from the French Tricolor thou its shape loox different. It was adopted in 1960 while the country was then named Dahomey. In 1975 the name was turned into Bénin (accordin to the name of an ancient kingdom) & a new flag was chosen by the then comunist regime. The original flag was restored after that regime fell down. The present pattern was (re)adopted on 1 AUGUST 1991.

HERALDRY NOTE : PORTO NOVO's shield is NOT corect.

the name of the city in French. BTW a golden
crown loox better !!!!
