To the crest of the Kuenringer

Ferdinand II authorized 1620 Karl of Liechtenstein to lead the emblem of the 1594 Kuenringer extinct.

It is run achtstreifig in contrast to the very similar coat of arms of Saxony and begins with gold, while the Saxon shield is out zehnstreifig today and begin with black. The green diamond ring - in the form of the same - is shown slightly bent in the royal coat of arms, however, in the Saxon coat of arms straight ( in the blazon contained in the Liechtenstein law, this particular design, however, is not listed ).
