based on a description in Walter Kranz (ed.) The Principality of Liechtenstein: A Documentary Handbook, 5th edition, Vaduz, 1981:
"Divided vertically - blue and silver."

The arms are azure with three scythes vertically. The arms have their origin in the arms of the nobles of Trisen, the oldest aristocratic family in Triesen. The first document where this family is mentioned is dated 1273. The arms of Triesen were adopted on the 23 June, 1956.
