Flag of Mexico

The flag of Mexico consists of three vertical stripes in the colors green, white, and red, with the national coat of arms centered on the white stripe. 

The colors: 
Green: Represents hope and the fertility of the land. 
White: Represents unity and purity. 
Red: Represents the blood of the national heroes who fought for independence. 
The coat of arms in the center: This depicts a Mexican golden eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a snake. 
This is based on an ancient Aztec legend regarding the founding of their capital, Tenochtitlán (present-day Mexico City). 

Current version: The current design of the flag was officially adopted on September 16, 1968.
