Croatian checkerboard

The Croatian checkerboard or checky (Croatian: šahovnica, pronounced [ʃaxǒːʋnit͡sa]) is the national symbol of Croatia and Croats. It covers the main shield of the Croatian coat of arms, above which there is a crown with five smaller shields. Squares are always arranged correctly and they are red and white, although the order has historically varied.
