Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess. Above in a red field is a silver (= white) Maltese cross. Below in a golden (= yellow) field is a red pair of antlers.
Meaning:
The antlers are symbolizing the riches of deer. The cross is symbolizing an estate of the Order of St.Johns in Kraak, which played an important role in the colonization of the area.
