The coat of arms is the same as the flag. The White Cross on Red is the second
coat of arms of the City of Tallinn, modified with a heart and a mediaeval
design, reflecting the geography and the mediaeval architecture of the Old City.
Kristine, a suburban district close to the old city, adopted
a similar modified version of the white cross on red with a clover, but I have
not (yet) seen a new flag for Kristine based on this and at the moment they seem
to still be using the blue and white stripes of the whole city, however it seems
that all of the Tallinna Osakonad will have their own distinct symbols very
soon, with the three lions and the blue and white stripes reserved for the City
of Tallinn alone and not for the districts.
