The coat of arms of is "Vert a fort with two towers in dexter and a mosque with minaret in sinister argent and in base wavy azure a filet wavy argent over a fleur-de-lis or within a ring of ten mullets of five argent".
The towers represent the remains of medieval forts, the old mosque in the town, the wavy lines symbolize rivers Una and Korana, the fleur-de-lis stands for the Bosnian statehood and the ten stars indicate the affiliation to the Federation and the European unity goals.

The Populari database does not list any municipal symbol that would have been used prior to the 1990s or during the war period. The constitutionality of the current symbol was not disputed.
