The flag is blue, ratio 1:2, with the city coat of arms in the
middle. The Coat of Arms is blue, with white
massoned walls and red tower, crowned with golden crown and
cross, all between two white double fleurs de lys. There is also
a golden ornament under the walls, which is, As far as I know,
not part of the blazon, but for ornamental purposes (and
certainly part of the official Coat of Arms).
The whole shield is outlined golden.
The image is from my pages, and quite possibly incorrect in
details (shades, proportions), but fair enough.

The coat of arms of the City of Koprivnica is the historical
coat of arms of the free royal city of Koprivnica. The decision
of the civic assembly described the coat of arms: "In
semicircular shield of blue field a white tower without gates
embattled and with carved columns. Above the tower there is a
yellow royal (Anjou) crown, and to the left and right each a
double yellow fleur-de-lis also symbolising the Anjou house that
granted the free royal city status to Koprivnica." The flag
is light blue with the coat of arms in the middle. The ceremonial
flag is vertical version of the light blue flag ending in
swallowtail and bordered with yellow along all edges. Adopted:
around 1995 ?

There is nothing beneat the white tower (as I said there is in
1999). The coat of arms in the flag is bordered yellow. The Vertical-Ceremonial Flag is used only as table
flag, even if the "real-size" is planned, it was never
(yet?) made, as I learned talking with Mr. Ernecic, curator of
the Koprivnica City Museum.
The modern design of the Coat of Arms and the
flag (i.e. artistic redention based on historic pattern) is made
by Draženka Jalšic Ernecic, kunsthistorian from
Koprivnica (and incidentally wife of Mr. Ernecic). She designed
several other flags and Coat of Arms in the county.
The flag is adopted some time in 1996, and was approved by the
Ministry of administration on 12. July 1996.

As we already knew that the flag was adopted in 1996, this is
confirmed with a newer decision amending the original 1996
decision issued in the official
gazette of the city: Odluka o izmjenama Odluke o grbu i
zastavi Grada Koprivnice, 26.9.2002, Glasnik Grada Koprivnice,
br. 9/02, 27. rujna 2002.
This decision refers to the orginal adoption of the Coat of Arms
and the flag: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Koprivnice, Glasnik
Grada Koprivnice, br. 1/96, and its amendment in the subsequent
issue of the gazette 2/96, however these 1996 decision are not
available on line.
The 2002 decision invalidates the 2/96 decision, and by that we
may assume with large assurance that the amendments of the 2/96
decision where just as minor as the 2002 decision, so we should
look for the 1/96 decision for the major corps of the
legislation. Namely, the 2002 decision only changes some numbers
in the determinations on fines, and invaldiates the 2/96
decision.
A vectorized detailed drawing of the Coat of Arms may be found in
the in the official
gazette. The updated drawing include more detailed images of
the crown and the fleurs-de-lis.
