The flag of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean. It is green with a palm tree in a gold disc, a gold crescent and the Southern Cross.
Few people live there, so ๐จ๐จ mostly appears from visitors to its lagoons and from flag fans collecting every emoji flag.
The crescent reflects the Cocos Malay community, who make up much of the population and are mostly Muslim.
