I noticed that this coat of arms depicts human head. Wandering how this is looked upon by the islamic leaders around? But, other coats of arms also depict some animals, most of them in quite heraldic manner, but as far as I know, equally bad regarding the islamic laws.

The provincial flags of 1968-1976 are of a uniform pattern. Each is square with the arms of the province surmounted by a red schwenkel bearing a green pentagram, representing the national flag.

The provincial arms is divided per fess blue over black with a gold head of a Phoenician in profile and two gold ears of wheat. The head of the Phoenician recalls the earliest settlers of the area, who called the city Tingis. These arms are the same as the city of Tangier, except that the blue and black have been reversed.
