Saint Barthelemy

Saint Barthélemy does not have an official territorial flag. The French national flag is used officially. The island's commonly displayed unofficial flag features the local coat of arms, which combines symbols of France, Sweden and the Knights of Malta, reflecting the island's unique historical heritage.

Saint Barthélemy has been under French sovereignty for most of its history, with a Swedish period from 1784 to 1878. In 2007 it became an Overseas Collectivity of France. The unofficial flag featuring the territorial coat of arms is widely used to represent the island locally.
