Coat of Arms

Teslic is community within Republic of
Srpska. Republic of Srpska is
entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Here
is the official coat of arms of Teslic community.
I do not have exact info of the date this
coat of arm was introduced, but it
is undoubtedly from the period after the
last war in Bosnia. The coat of arm
from the period before the war was the
small coat of arm contained within the current one.
Explanation: Green hills represent Borja Mountain,
where Teslic is located. Teslic
industry depended on the
mountain resources (especially lumber) for decades. Pale
Blue field in the lower portion of the coat of arm represents
Usora river. Tricolor, White Eagle in the background, and
the Crown, represent both Serbs as majority and Republic of
Srpska as its Country. The text is the name of the town
written in Serbian Cyrillic (being it the official language of
Srpska). The oak branches represent both dense woods
surrounding Teslic and Serbian people (taken as an element from
historical coat of arm of Serbs) Red letter "T"
within the smaller coat of arm stands for "Teslic".
Two vertical brown stripes aside represent the two
chimneys of the main factory in Teslic - Destilacija, which was
reason for founding the town.
