The flag is often depicted without a coat of arms. Their colors go back to the coat of arms. The top half of the coat of arms shows an event from the year 1248 when merchants from Cantabria broke the chain barrier of the port of the Moorish city of Seville with a ship and thus participated in the liberation of the city. The lower half shows a silver disc with geometric patterns.
