DescriptionFlag of Moldavia.svg	English: Contemporary reconstruction. Flag of Moldavia in the 15th-16th centuries. Made after: Seal of en:Alexandru cel Bun (1400-1432) from the National Museum of History of Romania. [1], Image:AlexandruCelBunSeal.png, Image:StefanCelMareSeal.png. The first information regarding the color of the Moldavian flag (including elements) comes from a book of documents published in Krakow in 1533: The grand flag had a red field on which was nicely painted with gold the coat of arms of Moldavia (banderim magnum sericeum, coloris rubri, in quo arma terrae Moldaviae pulhre auro depicta erant). Română: Reconstrucție contemporană a steagului Moldovei din sec. XV-XVI. Cele mai vechi informații cu privire la culoarea drapelului moldovenesc (inclusiv elementele acestuia) provin dintr-o carte cu documente publicată la Cracovia în 1533: „Steagul cel mare era de mătase, de culoare roşie, pe care erau pictate frumos în aur blazoanele Ţării Moldovei"("Banderium quoque magnum sericeum coloris rubri, in quo arma Terrae Moldauiae pulcre depicta erant"). Русский: Современная реконструкция. Флаг Молдавского княжества, использовавшийся примерно в XV—XVI веках. В центре флага изображена голова тура, справа от нее — роза, слева — полумесяц, а в центре — звезда. Всё золотое, фон красный. Первые сведения о флаге известны из книги, изданной в Кракове в 1533 году, где сказано: «banderim magnum sericeum, coloris rubri, in quo arma terrae Moldaviae pulhre auro depicta erant...» (латынь). Современная реконструкция по описанию из книги и изображениям печатей: Image:AlexandruCelBunSeal.png, Image:StefanCelMareSeal.png
