Coat of arms of Koška - Image by Željko Heimer, 25 June 2013
The coat of arms is "Azure three corn ears flanked with two leaves or issuant from a mount vert".
The Statutes say that the corn ears are taken from the seal
of Koška dated 1823, which was preserved in the archives of
the Valpovo Manor and was transferred to the State Archives in Osijek.
