Coat of arms of Vojnik - Image by Željko Heimer, 9 April 2000
The coat of arms of Vojnik is "Per pale, vert a crown or, gules a fess argent".
The coat of arms is the exact copy of the image in
Pichinger's book, which is in turn a drawing of the 1479 seal. The
only difference between Pichinger's depiction and the modern coat of arms is the black line dividing the fields into two parts.
