The first flag is completely lost, and no images of it exist, as far as anyone knows. The second flag was adopted in 1865, displayed the state coat of arms on one side and the United States coat of arms on the other. The current flag has a state coat of arms depicts a blue shield, upon which the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, and a man with a raised hand representing peace and holding a long gun representing the fight for state and nation as a frontier state. Over the seal, are three latin phrases.    Read more about the Michigan State Flag at the Michigan Department of State.
