Description

According to Baert 2001, an oval replaced the circle inscribing the mosque in 1921. The above image differs from Baert 2001's image only by minor details. In 1926, Amanullah was proclaimed King and changed the national flag by modernizing the arms.

A friend sent me this hanging flag with tails/ribbons on the end of the 1919�1928 national flag.
