Liechtenstein

About the flag

The flag represented by 🇱🇮 belongs to Liechtenstein, a small landlocked monarchy nestled between Switzerland and Austria. This flag features horizontal stripes of blue and red, adorned with a gold crown in the upper hoist corner, symbolizing its royal heritage. Liechtenstein's flag is one of the few that contains a crown, which signifies the country's monarchy and its historical connections to the Holy Roman Empire. An interesting fact is that during the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Liechtenstein's flag was mistakenly identified as Haiti’s due to similarities, prompting the need for greater awareness of national flags. To remember Liechtenstein’s flag, visualize its simple yet elegant design and recall its unique royal element, making it distinct from flags of neighboring countries.
