This flag reproduces the 1923 proposed and briefly described national flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, featuring a red field with the early USSR state emblem and “C.C.C.P.” lettering. This design is historically significant as the first constitutional description of a Soviet flag, preceding the adoption of the hammer-and-sickle canton design later in 1923. The elongated 1:4 proportion reflects early Soviet banner and display conventions rather than later standardized flag ratios.

Historical Context
Following the formation of the USSR in December 1922, early constitutional documents described the national flag as a red field bearing the state coat of arms. This description was formally adopted on July 6, 1923, and is believed to have been used ceremonially, including at the opening of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair on July 1, 1923.
The design was never widely manufactured or standardized. By November 1923, the Central Executive Committee revised the flag description, replacing it with the hammer-and-sickle and star design that became the official Soviet flag until 1991. As a result, this coat-of-arms flag remains a rare and short-lived design known primarily through archival references and later reconstructions.
