Jičín city flag

This districtseat-flag was in a paper "Prapory okresních Měst České Republiky", by Petr Exner, published by Flag Data Centre, Hradec Králové, 2002.
I assume that this is an attempt to get flags for all okres-capitals and that some liberties have been taken.

Jičín (German: Gitschin) was founded 1302 by King Wenceslas II. It is a market center, c. 70 km NE of Prague with c. 20.000 inhabitants.

The flag of Jicin was not discussed nor approved by the parliamentary subcommittee - and cannot be as it violates the vexillographic rules ("not include complete COA!").
However, it is probably in use although it was  not granted by the chairman of the Parliament.
