Cadavica (C<ad|avica) is a community in the Virovitica and Podravina County some 30 km southeast of Virovitica. Population around 3,000, some 800 in the village of the town name. The coat of arms is shown on the County web site at <www.viroviticko-podravska-zupanija.hr> that also explains that Cadavica was in 1852 granted the marketplace rights.

Coat of Arms

The coat of arms is divided per fess with a bar argent chief azure a mullet argent and base vert a ploughshare or. I guess that this coat of arms may have had a history reaching late 19th century (since the style is of the coat of arms granted to villages in the period in Croatia and Hungary), but it is not among such examples included in the legendary Coffy Haague album issued in 1930's [lsv39]
The flag was light blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
