Franconian Rake Franconian Rake The Franconian Rake () is the name given to the coat of arms of the region of Franconia in Germany. It is described heraldically as "per fess dancetty of three points argent and gules". The points represent a stylised heraldic rake. The Franconian Rake is an heraldic ordinary with a simple zig-zag line of partition that divides the escutcheon or shield into red and silver fields. This simple and regionally widespread symbol was first officially recognised as the Franconian coat of arms in 1804 when Prince Elector Maximilian IV Joseph incorporated it into the Bavarian coat of arms.
