專家說明

The arms are those of Rothschild, granted in Austria and in use from 1817-1822, for Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855).

Amschel Mayer was the second child and eldest son of Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), the founder of the Rothschild dynasty. Following his father's death, Amschel Mayer became head of the bank at Frankfurt-am-Main, while his brothers were dispatched to establish branches in London, Naples, Paris, and Vienna.
