To this crest were added flags, lions, cannons, ships. This representation was considered to express the ancient arms of Algiers. The new weapons date from 1862". (in English) (1986) Flag Bulletin, Flag Research Center.  : "One Dey, however, at least had a coat of arms: these still survive sculptured on the wall of a building in Algiers. Though now whitewashed over, the colours are on record. The arms consisted of a green shield, bearing the interlacing triangles known as the seal of Solomon, in gold, with a silver crescent in the centre. The whole had a red border and was surmounted by a sort of crown. It was perhaps these arms which led a modern French writer to speak rather inaccurately of the Deys as having a "green standard with a golden crescent".
