Symbols of Yuncler

The flag of Yuncler (photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo) is prescribed by an Order issued on 14 February 2003 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 5 March 2003 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 31, p. 3,463 (text).
The flag is described as follows:

Flag: Quadrangular, in proportions 2:3, red with three white horizontal wavy stripes. In the center is placed the crowned coat of arms of the town.

The coat of arms of Yuncler is prescribed by an Order issued on 1 June 1994 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 17 June 1994 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 31, p. 1,330 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:

Coat of arms: Per pale, 1. Argent reeds over waves, 2. Gules a crown of wheat spikes or. The shield surmounted by a Royal Spanish crown.

The Royal Academy of History validated "without difficulty" the proposed coat of arms, provided its graphic representation is improved. The arms, designed from scratch, are canting (juncos, "reeds"); the second quarter represents the local agriculture.
The reeds should be given a bigger volume and emerge from the waves, which should fill the whole base of the shield, leaving no empty space beneath them.
