What does the Paraguay flag represent?

The coat of arms features a yellow circle that is outlined in black, with the words Republica del Paraguay (Republic of Paraguay) at the top and Paz y Justicia (Peace and Justice) at the bottom. At the center of the circle is a landscape of two green hills, separating a blue river that runs into a yellow sun to the left. On top of one hill is a red phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty. On top of the other hill is a green palm tree. Beneath the hills is a white banner with the words Mayo 15 de 1811 (May 15, 1811), marking the date of Paraguay’s independence from Spain.
