Sweden National Flag - History, Design, and Symbolism #280424 (License: Personal Use)

Sweden’s flag consists of a royal blue field with a golden-yellow Scandinavian cross extending to the edges; the canton (upper-left quarter) bears three golden crowns-symbolizing the historical Union of Kalmar and Sweden’s monarchy. Officially standardized in 1906, the design reflects centuries of heraldic tradition and national identity. The colors blue and yellow derive from the Swedish coat of arms and have been associated with the nation since the 14th century.
