National coat of arms
The six motifs on Liechtenstein‘s coat of arms provide a history of the royal House of Liechtenstein since 1719, when the country was founded. The small shield at the center is the royal family’s gold-and-red coat of arms, the gold-crowned eagle signifies the Silesia family, the diamond wreath represents the Kuenringer family, the red-and-silver shield is the Duchy of Troppau, the black eagle comes from the coat of arms of a family that married into the royal line, and the golden hunting horn represents the Duchy of Jägerndorf.:
