The Dannebrog — Denmark's national flag — is claimed to be the oldest continuously used national flag in the world, with its origin legend placing a red cloth with a white cross falling from the sky during the Battle of Lyndanisse in Estonia in 1219. Whether that story survives serious scrutiny is debatable; that Denmark has deployed the flag politically and ceremonially without interruption for centuries is not. This 2008 issue was struck as part of Danmarks Nationalbank's ongoing commemorative silver program, which expanded significantly in the 2000s to mark Danish historical and cultural subjects at the one-troy-ounce format.
