The arms combine the arms of the four territories to which the largest part of the area historically belonged. The lion is the lion of the State of [[Bamberg]], the quartered shield the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg-Ansbach from the House Hohenzollern; the bars and crown are the arms of [[Sachsen]] and symbolise the former Duchy of Sachsen-Coburg. The base shows the points, the traditional arms of Franken. | The arms combine the arms of the four territories to which the largest part of the area historically belonged.
