Mursko Sredice (Sredis<c/e) got city status in 1997.
It has about 5,000 inhabitants, ca. 3,500 in the town itself.
The coat of arms might have been used for some time even before
1990's, but I have no exact data at the moment, I suppose, 1995
might be estimated year when it was officially legislated. It is:
Vert a bar argent in chief and a coal machine or. The mining
equipement shown in the coat of arms is a reminder of extensive
coal mining industry that made the city prosperous and is for a
long time closed now, and to the oil exploatation that is done in
the area ever since the end of 19th century.
The flag is green with the yellow bordered coat of arms next to
the hoist.
