Coat of arms of Corsica
A bandera testa mora.
'The Moor's head' has been the emblem of Corsica since the 'Consulte' which was held in Corte on November 24, 1762.
It already appeared on the coins of King Theodore.
It dates back to the Crusades and is found on the standards of the King of Aragon.
It would be the symbol of a victory over the infidels, a leader of whom would have been decapitated and his head carried on top of a pike.
