The Ministry approved the design on 25 February 1997. It was designed by Draženka Jalšic Ernecic, art historian from Koprivnica and author of some other CoA's in Koprivnica-Križevci County.
The scallop is called locally Peter's Ear and insite of the name it is an attribute of St. Roch (Sv. Rok, probbaly most well know after Italian version St. Rocco), the patron of the community. The mounts in base cant the name Bregi (literally meaning 'hills').
