The name of Miklavž na Dravskem polju could be translated as "Nicolas on Drava field/valley", and the coat of arms reflects much of the name.
Željko Heimer, 10 January 2001
The coat of arms and flag of Miklavž na Dravskem polju are prescribed by decision Odlok o
grbu in zastavi Občine Miklavž na Dravskem polju, adopted on 1
June 2000 and published in the regional official gazette
Medobčinski uradni vestnik, nr 12/2000, 311.
The text and images are available
online.
The flag is of the same greenish field as in the coat of arms with
the arms set in the middle, always hoisted vertically, in proportions 1:2.
This flag is explicity allowed to be used by the citizens of the
municipality, so making it both the civil and
government flag. Most of other Slovene municipal flags are
by default only to be used by the municipal authorities, that is they
are government flags.

In the shield there are symbols of the patron St. Nicolas, a crozier (symbolizing guidance), a book (wisdom) and three golden balls (care for those in need).
