The coat of arms is in a red shield on a green mount a white church with two blue roofed bell-towers between ruined yellow embattled walls and in base a blue wavy line.
The wavy line represents river Česma, whose name is a variation of the town's name. The St. Mary Magdalene parish church is a Romanesque church with Gothical elements, being the biggest Romanesque church in Croatia, baroquized in the 18th century. The fortifications seen on the arms are no longer visible today.
