It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of green and white.

Shield Or, a sinister bendy branch of olive fruited Sable, accompanied in dexter chief by an inescutcheon Azure charged with 13 plates ordered 2:3:2:3:2:1; in sinister base three wheat ears Or tied Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "FREGUESIA DE OURIQUE".
Meaning:
The inescutcheon is the shield of Portuguese kings in the 12th century. The other charges probably refer to the rural character of the commune.

The only difference was the inscription of the scroll, simply being: "OURIQUE"
