Denmark, flag ronde button 6,0 cm

The National Flag of Denmark (Dannebrog). The flag features a white Scandinavian cross on a red field. The cross is to represent Christianity and similar designs were also adopted by the other Scandinavian Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and also the British Shetland and Orkney islands. The design is first recorded in the late 14th century, but legend has it that the flag dates from the Battle of Lyndanisse in 1219.
