Mayotte is an overseas region and department of France. The French flag is thus the official flag accordingly to the second article of the constitution. The Coat of arms of Mayotte is well defined and was adopted by the predecessor entity of the Department of Mayotte in 1982. The blue and the red come from the Flag of France, with the addition of a yellow shade for the two ylang-ylang flowers. The escutcheon, supported by two seahorses, reads as follows: Per fess azure a crescent argent and gules two ylang-ylang flowers or; within a bordure engrelled argent. The coat of arms also displays Mayotte motto, Ra Hachiri, translated from Shimaore as We are vigilant.
Thank you Sophie!
