It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain green field.

Coat of arms

Shield Argent, two mattocks Sable hilted Gules in saltire, in chief a fleur-de-lis Vert, in base a scallop Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "ANISSÓ".
Meaning:
The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of Our Lady of Hope, the local patron saint. The scallop (Port.: viera) is probably alluding to the municipality of Vieira do Minho.
