Current princely flag

According to the law of 30 June 1982, published in Landesgesetzblatt (State Journal of Laws) on 18 September 1982, the prince’s standard is now horizontally divided blue-red with the greater State arms in the middle and a yellow border whose width is 1/9th of the hoist width. The proportions are the same as for the other Liechtenstein flags (3:5).
Ivan Sache, 01 Mar 2001, translating and adapting Roger Baert in [bat00]

If the height of the flag is 1, the width of the yellow border is ¹/₉th of the height of the flag, if the top and the bottom of the coat of arms touch or nearly touch the yellow border, then: the height of the coat of arms is equal to ca 1–¹/₉–¹/₉=⁷/₉ths of the height of the flag.
Pascal Vagnat, 14 Oct 1999

This flag is wrongly reported as the national flag of the Principality of Liechtenstein in a supplement to the National Geographic Atlas of the World, fifth edition, 1983.
