Why was a crown added to the flag of Liechtenstein?

Have you ever seen the flag of Liechtenstein? It consists of two horizontal blue and red bands charged with a gold crown at the canton and it was adopted in 1921.

In 1937 the crown was added to the flag after the country found out at the Summer Olympics held the previous year that their flag was identical to the flag of Haiti!

The colors, as well as symbols of the flag carry cultural, political, and regional meanings.

The blue represents the sky, whereas the crown epitomizes the “unity of the people and their prince”.
