City of Križevci - The coat of arms of Krizevci
originates from at least 18th century. It is canting, since the
name refers to the cross (city is named in Latin Crux, German
Kreutz and Magyar Koros [Ko//ro:s]). It can be blazoned as Azure,
two hands proper clasping each other embowed, dexter armoured
Argent and sinister clead Or, holding a triple cross patte of the
second between in chief two mullets of the third.
The coat of arms was used more or less throughout in different
artistical redentions, differing maily in representation of the
outer ornaments. The current simple shield is adopted in early
1990's, in the same time as the flag is adopted for the first
time.
The flag is blue, ratio 1:2, with the CoA offset to the hoist (my
guess - the axis is 1/3 of the lenght from hoist). The CoA is
fimbrated in white line from the rest of the field. The blue
shade used is grayish, that is considered traditional colour of
the city.
The vertical flag is not reported. Presumably, it would have the
CoA vetiacally set and offset upwards - but that is only a
speculation, of course.
My images are based on the representations of the flag and CoA on
