Another version of the flag, using the 1/3 figure instead of 279/800. Note that the leftmost tip of the star is slightly within the hole of the crescent.

David Benbennick made this flag, based on the construction sheet at Flags of the World. Note that the specification given there is self-contradictory: the number 1/3 given for the width of the hole in the crescent is wrong. From the other information given at FOTW, it is really 279/800 = 0.34875.
