The 13 rays of red and gold on the top half 
of the flag represent both the 13 original
colonies of the Union, and the rays of the
Western setting sun. Red and gold were also 
the colors carried by Coronado's Spanish expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540.  
The bottom half of the flag has the same Liberty 
blue as the United States flag. Since Arizona was the largest producer of copper in the nation, 
a copper star was placed in the flag's center
