The flag of Cobeta is prescribed by an Order issued on 15 May 2006 by
the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 25 May 2006 in the
official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 108, p. 11,682 (text).
The flag is described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular in proportions 2:3, diagonally divided from the fly's top to the hoist's bottom, the upper part, white, charged with a red tower, the lower part, red, charged with a white castle.
The coat of arms of Cobeta is prescribed by an Order issued on 15 May
2006 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 25 May
2006 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 108, p. 11,682 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Per bend sinister, 1. Argent a tower gules, 2. Gules a castle argent. The shield surmounted by a Royal Spanish crown.
The flag is a banner of the arms, which recall that the old tower
(cubo) for which the village was named was subsequently transformed
in a castle.
[Jorge Hurtado Maqueda. 2008-2010. Vexilología local en Guadalajara. Wad-al-Hayara: Revista de estudios de Guadalajara 35-37, 475-505; ]
The Royal Academy of History found the proposed symbols acceptable,
although flawed. There is no explanation of the proposed arms. The use
of a tower and a castle, two similar charges, in triangular fields that
do not match their vertical shape, is clashing.
