About the flag

National flag with the coat of arms overall.
António Martins, 16 May 2000

Both Flaggenbuch [neu39] and Album [pay00] label it as president's standard.
Ivan Sache, 16 October 2001

Is it possible it's also used as a "state" flag?
Nathan Lamm, 22 January 2005

Is this a "real" presidential flag, or used only as a rank flag on a Navy ship when the president is on board? (As it is in Argentina.)
António Martins, 5 May 2004

This flag can be seen at the pole of the Palacio de la Moneda, the official residence of the government.
Juan Pablo Pereira, 22 January 2005

The Chilean flag with coat-of arms, which I'd have thought would be hard to pull off on a flag with a canton, as there's no "center" to put the arms on.
Ii>Nathan Lamm, 15 October 2001

This online picture of the Chilean presidential has golden fringe as some indoors Chilean flags do. (There are Chilean Presidential Flags without fringe also).

Version with large coat-of-arms

The central arms in this on-line image are much smaller than reported in both Flaggenbuch [neu39] and Album [pay00]. What is it? A new version, two variants?
António Martins, 1 March 2005

Version with large star

Both Flaggenbuch [neu39] and Album [pay00] show the star in the presidential flag slightly larger then in the national flag, but this may not be intentional.
Željko Heimer, 13 December 2005

Following Flaggenbuch [neu39] and Album [pay00] information, the star is slightly bigger than the one in the National flag. However the size of the star should be the same in both flags.

Presidential sash (Banda Presidencial)

image by Eugene Ipavec, 27 March 2006

The Chilean Presidential Sash is a wide ribbon with three longitudinal stripes (parallel to the edges of the ribbon): red, white and blue. It is worn with the blue stripe above.
António Martins, 29 September 2006

President (photo online)	dates	sash
Gabriel Boric Font	2022-present	no coat of arms
Sebastián Piñera Echenique	2018-2022	no coat of arms
Verónica Michelle Bachelet Jeria	2014-2018	no coat of arms
Sebastián Piñera Echenique	2010-2014	no coat of arms
Verónica Michelle Bachelet Jeria	2006-2010	no coat of arms
Ricardo Froilán Lagos Escobar	2000-2006	no coat of arms
Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle	1994-2000	no coat of arms
Patricio Aylwin Azócar	1990-1994	no coat of arms
Augusto Pinochet Ugarte	1973-1990	with coat of arms
Salvador Allende Gossens	1970-1973	no coat of arms
Eduardo Nicanor Frei Montalva	1964-1970	no coat of arms
…
Carlos Ibáñez del Campo	1952-1958	with coat of arms
Gabriel González Videla	1946-1952	with coat of arms
…
Carlos Ibáñez del Campo	1927-1931	with coat of arms

So the present day Chilean Presidential Sash (or at least the one worn by civilian presidents) does not have the embroidered coat of arms.
