On FOTW-fb Jan-Patrick Fischer reported a presidential flag used by Timor-Leste's President Taur Matan Ruak (2012-2017) on a boat to Atauro Island in 2014. The flag is yellow over red with coat of arms of Timor-Leste placed in the center of the flag and with black letters P and R placed next to emblem. It seems this flag is a maritime flag (or ensign), because it is not used on land, even I haven’t found any evidence of usage of this flag. Of course, the Album des Pavillons (any edition) doesn’t show this flag (ensign).

I guess those letters are the initials of the president’s title in
Portuguese: "Presidente da República" [and in Tetum, Prezidente Republika - e.d.].
António Martins-Tuválkin, 5 July 2025
As I mention before, the “presidential flag” is only a cotton version of the number plate of the president’s car. The flag was maybe created for the single trip of president Taur Matan Ruak to Atauro island (a island north of capital Dili).
