The Luxembourgish flag bears a striking resemblance to the Dutch flag, the only difference being a lighter shade of blue in the Luxembourgish flag and different proportions. Despite the intertwining histories of the two countries the resemblance is purely coincidental. The flag of the Grand Duchy was based on its 13th century coat of arms. Which features a red lion on top of blue and white stripes. The flag was also influenced by the French flag.Luxembourg flag at Miniature Flag Shop
