Coat of Arms
image by eljko Heimer, 26 June 2004
The coat of arms is: per pale dexter chequy gules and argent
and sinister vert overall conjoined a pale and a chief argent.
The vertical white pale and the chief together form the
shape of the letter T for Trgovice, but also for Tudjman.
The flag was adopted at the same time as the coat of arms in
mid-1990's, a bicolour white over blue with the coat of arms in
the middle, and was briefly used. It was probably rejected by the
Ministry of Administration and the use was suspended. Information
thanks to Tomislav ipek, 01.07.2003.

The previous flag was adopted with the prevous statutes:
Statut Opcine Veliko Trgovice, "Slubeni glasnik
Krapinsko-zagorske upanije" br.10/94, 15/95, 19/96 i
8/01, and finally the one currently available at the web site:
Statut opcine Veliko Trgovice, 14.12.2001, Web stranice opcine
Veliko Trgovice. The statutory decision on the coat of
arms and the flag introducing current symbols amends that
stautes.
Anyway, the previous flag was thus adopted in 1994, but was
supressed in use by 1996 due to the rejection of the design by
the Ministry of Administration. The statuts describe the coat of
arms and the flag in rather much details, while omitting some
other important things, so it would be dificult to
"reconstruct" them from the description in the statutes
only. The coat of arms of Veliko Trgovice initially adopted
was: per pale dexter chequy gules and argent and sinister vert
overall conjoined a pale and a chief argent. The vertical white
pale and the chief together form the shape of the letter T for
Trgovice, but also for Tudjman, the first president of the
Republic of Croatia, who was born there. The statutes actually do
not describe the fields on the both sides of the letter T, but
mentions that the shield is outlined in red. The flag was adopted
a bicolour white over blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
Overall ratio was a bit unusual, 8:13. Incidentally, the statutes
does not mention that there is the coat of arms in the flag. I
believe that the ommisions in descriptions are due to error that,
even if it was noticed, it was not corrected since the whole
thing was rejected quite early.
