The CoA of Sisak-Moslavina is quite often seen (on TV) and
seems to be popular. It is crowed with mural crown of 7 towers. I
somehow doubt that this crown has anything to be disputed. It
originates from the mural crown of the city of Sisak. (The flag
is also often seen, very interesting, but also not legaly right,
since it is tricolour). I do not have info on when it is adopted
in the assembly, nor was it or not approved by the Ministry.The
County of Sisak - Moslavina is in central Croatia, south-east of
Zagreb. Its capital, Sisak, is Croatian center of heavy industry.
Big parts of the County were occupied in recent war, especially
southern parts, where Serb population was considerable. In
western part of the County there is a site of a concentration
camp from World War II in Jasenovac. The County is especially
known for its many hunting facilities in numerous marshes abound
Sava river. A stork is a native bird there, but it is also found
on the ancient arms of the city of Sisak. The swords stands as a
symbol of defence, both in the recent war and in historic wars
against Ottoman empire.

Dov Gutterman located a photo of a flag hanged from
the window at: http://www.hrt.hr/arhiv/oluja/slike/petrinja.jpg
. This showes a photo from liberation of the city of Petrinja in
1995. The flag hoisted on window is the flag of the county of
Sisak and Moslavina, in which the city is. The building is the
city hall of Petrinja (and I believe the flag of Petrinja itself
was hoisted just few moments latter, but I never managed to get a
good sight of it, except that it contains a CoA with black
eagle...) The one seen on the photo is vertical variant which
upper red stripe invisible in the interior of the building.

The vertical variant is in much more frequent use, as far as I
could notice. Nither the CoA nor the flag are approved by the
Ministry, but it seems that SMC does not care much about it and
use them nevertheless.
Source: the CoA from several tourist leaflets, flag as
soptted on TV in various occasions.
