Flag and coat of arms of Salantai (Klaipeda county - Klaipedos
apskritis, Kretinga district - Kretingos rajonas). The flag is
according to my personal observation from the flag show of
Mindaugas coronation 750th anniversary. The coat of arms is drawn
according to image from the book: The Heraldry of Lithuania.

Salantai - On a silver field upon green a three-hill a red
rooster. Flag proportions 5:6, fringe is silver, finial is a
golden tip, staff is white. The charge symbolizes both Gaidziu
Kalnas ("Roosters Hill"), on which the town was
established, and victory of light against darkness.
