The flag of Liechtenstein consists of two equal horizontal bands of blue (top) and red with a gold ducal crown on the hoist side of the blue band. The colors likely derive from the livery colors of the Principality's royal household in the 18th century.

The crown was added in 1937, after it was discovered by Liechtenstein's team at the 1936 Summer Olympics that the flag was otherwise identical to the flag of Haiti. The design of the crown was slightly modified in 1982.
