im really confuse with this flags because its almost 100% the same. or if it has difference, what is it?
i hope you will answer me correctly.
You are right, the flags for both countries are identical. They have a horizontal red stripe over a horizontal white stripe but they each have their own meaning:
Monaco’s red and white flag are the heraldic colors of the Grimaldi family. The colors appear as a diamond shaped pattern on the shield of the family’s coat of arms.
Indonesia’s flag’s red stripe symbolizes blood and represents the human body; the white stripe represents the soul and the spirit; and when put together the red and white represent a complete human being.
Hope this helps.
I thought the Monaco flag had their coat of arms on it.
