It is a slightly untypical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of yellow and blue (town rank).
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 27 July 2014
The arms are Argent three bars wavy Azure, bordure Sable charged with eight branches of orange tree Vert fruited proper. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "CEIRA".
Please note that the arms on flag are not the same, displayed on the municipal webpage of Coimbra. This flag was the only one, having sewn the arms onto the sheet (all others were printed).
Source: I spotted this flag on 27 September 2013 in the town hall of Coimbra.
