the Danish flag
The oldest flag in the world First acknowledged in 1219, the Danish flag "Dannebrog" remains the oldest state flag in the world still in use by an independent nation.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Denmark
The flag holds the world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.

The design has been used by the late Ottoman Empire, and then adopted when the Republic of Turkey (now regretting to itself as Turkiye) was established.
