Description of the flag

Divided vertically - blue and silver.
Jan Oskar Engene 11 Apr 1996, quoting [kra81]

(French) Drapeau: parti bleu et blanc. (English) two vertical stripes blue and white.
Pascal Vagnat, 10 Apr 1999, quoting [kra82]

Coat of arms

The arms are azure with three scythes vertically. The arms have their origin in the arms of the nobles of Trisen, the oldest aristocratic family in Triesen. The first document where this family is mentioned is dated 1273. The arms of Triesen were adopted on the 23 June, 1956.
Pascal Vagnat, 21 Nov 1995

Wrong report

According some source, this flag is horizontal blue over white. It is possible that it is in fact a banner, not as flag.
Jaume Ollé, Apr 1999
