Andorra's flag is the only national flag in the world with two cows. 🇦🇩

The central element in the flag is Andorra's coat of arms. It has been in use since the Middle Ages and was made official in 1969.

The coat of arms is divided in four quarters, each one with one of the symbols corresponding to one of the four traditional houses of the country: the co-prince Bishop of Urgell, the co-prince Count of Foix (nowadays President of France), the flag of Catalonia, and the Viscounts of Bearn. This last one is the one with the two cows.🐄🐄

The Viscounty of Bearn disappeared centuries ago, but its coat of arms survives in Andorra's.
