A blue flag with a yellow stripe (about the width of the white
stripe in the Danish flag), located below the center line, and
containing two 5 pointed white stars in upper hoist, the upper
one smaller and to the left of the lower one.
William M. Grimes-Wyatt, 8 April 1996
From <www.curacao-tourism.com>:
Curaçao’s flag portrays the blue sea and sky, bisected by
the yellow sun. The two stars represent Curaçao and its
uninhabited sister island Klein Curaçao; their five points
symbolize the five continents from which the varied local
population originates.

From "Vlaggenalbum" of Gouda's Roen (c. 1950) - The
flag for Curaçao is the Dutch RWB with a CoA in the center
(apparently not the CoA of that island); I haven't seen it in any
flagbook, so this seems to be highly doubtful. The ship is of the
West Indische Compagnie, see <www.ngw.nl>.

Both Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles used the CoA of the
"Geoctrooiëerde Westindische Compagnie" (Dutch West
India Company), that is a three-master on a way sea. So this CoA
may have been used on flags. Note that the old CoA at <www.ngw.nl>
has a white scroll with black lettering, and not a red scroll.
