Symbolism and history(r1)

A blue-over-red bicolor bears a gold princely crown, added when the country realized during the 1936 Summer Olympics that its flag was identical to Haiti's; the modified design was adopted on 24 June 1937, to signify Liechtenstein's position as a principality and to distinguish it from Haiti's flag.
