Nova Raca is a community in the Bjelovar and Bilogora County,
some 20 km southeast of Bjelovar,
counting somewhat over 4,000 inhabitants with only about 500
living in the main village of the community bearing the same
name.
The newly adopted symbols of the community are shwon at <nova-raca.hr>.
The must have been adopted during 2008, but no date is provided
on the site.
The coat of arms of Nova Raca is: or a
crescent below a round high tower with loophooles on the first
two and a window on the third floor with a dome topped with a
Maltese cross all azure in the border of the last twelve mullets
of the first.
The central shield represents Nova Raca and the twelve stars
represent the other twelve villages of the community.
The flag is blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the
middle. Ratio 1:2.
The ceremonial flag is a blue gonfalon with
three triangularly ending tails edged yellow and with golden
tassels with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle, the
name of the community in two rows above and an oak branch and a
garb of ears in saltire below it.
Ivan Grbac located on the web another version of the coat of
arms, which was probably one of the proposals being considered:
blue shield with a white tower (entirely similar as the one on
the adopted design) on the left half of the shield and a golden
six-pointed star above a golden cross pattee above a silver
crescent in the right half.
