Just six years after Porfirio Díaz attempted by a decree to unified the National Coat of Arms, in 1899, he adopted another emblem, designed by Mexican sculptor Juan de Dios Fernández.
According the Ordenanza General del Ejército y la Armada, the only official document describes the flag, it should be proportioned 2:3.
The same flag but without Coat of Arms was used as merchant ensign.
