The coat of arms pictures river Bosna flowing along the right edge of the shield and curving along it. Two lines crossing it in base symbolize communication. There are four elements in circular medallions. The first medallion pictures old fort Vranduk, the seat of the Bosnian kings and of the house of did, a patriarch of Bosnian Patareni Bogomil religion known as bogumili. The second medallion pictures a cross, one as it is found on a monument of Kulin-ban, also symbolizing Christianity. The third medallion in clockwise order shows a crescent, symbolizing Islam and Turkish period, and the fourth medallion contains two crossed hammers, symbolizing mining industry as well as, indirectly, the Austrian-Hungarian period.
