The Coat of Arms is Azure, a Mullet of
Eight Or above Moon increscent. The flag is yellow with the coat
of arms in the middle. Until 1997 the official name of the city
was Podravska Slatina.

The design was apparently used in early 1990's, but the
officially adopted pattern is based on the design published in
the Laszowski Coffy HAG album of 1930's "Grbovi
Jugoslavije", that is in turn based on the civic seal from
around 1860, coloured by Laszowski. The current redention was
done by Heraldic Art based on the 1930' pattern.

Same arms are used by Portsmouth in England. See wikipedia.

The images are based on the Heraldic Art drawings from the
2006 poster.
The web site of the city do not
include regulations regarding the coat of arms and the flag, but
it shows several artistic rendering of the coat of arms with
smaller or greater artistic diferences, especially noticable
regarding the drawing of the crescent and its face.
This is however, the usual heraldic practice.
Some of the variations I have seen used on the flag as well,
notably such there the black outlines of the coat of arms and its
elements are missing, and where therefore the moon face is
differently stylized. Again, such variations are very minor.
