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.
