Flag of Nigeria (1914–1960)

The Flag of Nigeria between 1914 and 1960 was a British blue ensign with a green six-pointed star described as the Seal of Solomon, surrounding a Tudor Crown (later changed to a St Edward's Crown in 1953) with the white word "Nigeria" under it on a red disc. It was adopted by the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria following the amalgamation of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and Northern Nigeria Protectorate.
