north macedonia emblem T-Shirt

Coat of arms of Macedonia. The national flag of the Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Знаме на Република Македонија) depicts a stylised yellow sun on a red field, with eight broadening rays extending from the centre to the edge of the field. It was created by Pr. Miroslav Grčev and was adopted on 5 October 1995 after a one-year economic blockade imposed by Greece in order to force the Republic of Macedonia to remove the ancient Macedonian Vergina Sun from the flag. The features of the national coat of arms contain a rising sun which symbolizes freedom, the Šar Mountains[2] with its peak named Ljuboten[2] or Mount Korab[3] and the river Vardar,[2][3] with Lake Ohrid. The emblem also contains opium poppy fruits; this poppy was brought to Macedonia by the Ottoman Empire in the first half of 19th century.
