From Album 2000 [pay00] -
State Flag, Coast-Guard Ensign and President of the republic
(-SW/-S- 3:5) - The fivestriped flag of
blue-white-red-white-blue, the red stripe being double
width of each the other four. Offset to the hoist in the red
stripe on white oval is set the coat of arms. The constuction
details beside the figure set the horizontal offset of the oval
as 3:7 (i.e. size from hoist to the oval's vertical axis : size
from the axis to fly). The oval size seems to be (as measured
from the image) as 1.75:1.5, using the same unit as above (which
is the same that give vertical dimensions of the flag as
1+1+2+1+1, and therefore being 1/6 of the hoist). In any case -
are the oval details determined by any law? I suspect that
they may not be.
I used Jaume's image of the CoA as a clipart to make this images.

Very recently, the newly elected President of Costa Rica
Óscar Arias took oath as the new President of his country. There
is a picture at <www.eltiempo.com>
in which he can be seen wearing the presidential sash, which is
the flag of Costa Rica plus the Coat of Arms
in a diagonal way.
