The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for. |

Koprivnica and Krizevci County
Koprivničko-križevačka županija
Legal notice: The counties, cities and communities in the Republic of Croatia by their decision on adoption and use of the coats of arms and flags limit the use of these symbols only after obtaining an explicit written permission. However, most of the units of local government and self-government by the same decisions explicitly allow the free use of the symbols in the educational and scientific purposes and in the artistic creation, under condition that such use does not offend the dignity and honour of the local unit. The author of these pages considers that the depiction of the coats of arms and the flags here meets the conditions of free use in that sense.

Design: Antonio Grgić, architecture student from Koprivnice
The coat of arms of the County is Azure, between a Triple Cross and a Double Fleur-de-lis both Or on a Pile inverted Argent a Cock Or head, wings, tail and legs Azure hardi on a Triple Mount Vert. The flag is quartered red and blue with the coat of arms bordered golden in the middle. The triple cross is from the coat of arms of Krizevci (canting for kriz) and the double fleur-de-lis from the coat of arms of Koprivnica. The peacock is symbolising the area for a long time lending its local name to the inhabitants, and is also found in legends and the coat of arms of Djurdjevac. The traditions of Hungarian (and Croatian) heraldry require that the charges are supported by a mount, and not 'floating' in the shield, and this custom is followed here, too.

The first adopted coat of arms was slightly different from the one currently used - the pile being barry of six Gules and Argent. This coat of arms and the accompanying flag were used by the County without the approval of the Ministry of Administration. When the Ministry approved the design without the red bars, the legal documents were changed accordingly, as well as the usage.
