yesterday's coin belongs to, you guessed it right, belgium.
the Benelux is a union of three monarchial countries of northwestern Europe, namely Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg; the name Benelux was derived from the three countries' first two or three letters. the Netherlands and Luxembourg's flags comprise of three colours and all colours are shown in this photograph. can you figure out which are the three colours for the Netherlands and which three are those of Luxembourg's?
sometime during the 1980's i did spend a year in the Benelux, to follow my foolish heart's beloved, the second mr. summerfield. he was based in Belgium and i stayed mostly in Luxembourg because i heart Luxembourg! here's a little story to amuse you, if you are so inclined as to read it: http://amatterofdistinction.blogspot.ca/2009/12/je-me-souviens.html
thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are so much appreciated, mind you.
I know the Netherlands flag is red, white and blue, but not sure about Luxembourg... I'll guess white, blue and light blue but not convinced I'm right!
