Origin/meaning
The arms are in use as such since 1630 and were officially granted on June 4, 1957.
The national arms are the arms of the reigning Royal family. The arms are a combination of the arms of the Duchy of Silezia (eagle, now in Poland), the Kuenring dynasty (second quarter), the Duchy of Troppau (third quarter, now Opava in the Czech Republic), East-Frisia (fourth quarter, it is in the North-West corner of Germany, see also Emden), the horn of the Duchy of Jägerndorf (now Krnov in the Czech Republic) and as an escutcheon the arms of the family of Liechtenstein proper.
As small arms, only the escutcheon is used, with the Ducal crown.
