=== Flag of 1825 ===
[[File:Flag of Peru (
On 25 February 1825, during [[Simón Bolívar]]'s administration, the Constituent Congress changed the design of the flag by promulgating the law of national symbols. The fundamental change was the image of the sun for the brand new coat of arms, designed by José Gregorio Paredes and Francisco Javier Cortés.
Line 120:
The South was formed first, thus adopting a new flag: a red vertical band on the left, with a golden sun and four small stars above (representing [[Arequipa Region|Arequipa]], [[Ayacucho Region|Ayacucho]], [[Cuzco Region|Cuzco]] and [[Puno Region|Puno]], the four groups of the republic), and the right side divided into an upper green band and a lower white one. The North kept the currency and all of the dissolved Peru, including its flag.
The flag of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation showed the coats of arms of Bolivia, South and North Peru, from left to right and slanted at different angles, on a red field, adorned by a [[Laurel wreath|laurel crown]]. Another version of the flag of the confederacy is offered by Flags of the World (https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/xi_pb.html.
After the dissolution of the Confederation, the old Republic of Peru was restored to its 1836 composition, as were its national symbols.
