Description
The Nevada State Flag is cobalt blue. In the upper left hand corner are two sprays of sagebrush, the Nevada State Flower, in a semi-circular design. Above the sprays is the state name, “NEVADA”, a Spanish word for “Snowclad” as a reminder of the great peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Above the state name is a silver star representing the Nevada State Mineral, Silver and the wealth of mineral resources within the state. The words “BATTLE BORN” on the gold scroll above the star testify that Nevada was admitted to the union during the Civil War.
