The Flag of Liechtenstein consists of two equal horizontal bands of blue (top) and red with a gold 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 Olympic Games that the flag was otherwise identical to that of Haiti. The design of the crown was slightly modified in 1982.
