    A cavalry standard made of double silk, edged with fringes. The centre of the flag field on both sides holds the embroidered coat of arms of the Virovitica County. Above the coat of arms the embroidered motto reads: PRO: DEO: REGE: ET: LEGE, ('For God, king and law'), and below the coat of arms the year: MDCCLXXXX (1790). The flagstaff, similar to a tournament lance, ends with a heart-shaped finial.
