The Oregon State Flag is the only State flag with a different design on each side.  The flag face displays the words "STATE OF OREGON" above a gold shield surrounded by thirty-three stars. The stars represent Oregon as the thirty-third state to be admitted to the union.   With a nickname like "The Beaver State" one might easily guess what lies on the reverse side of the flag. Indeed, the Oregon State animal makes a strong showing on the Oregon State Flag.
