Travnik used two successive, unofficial coats of arms in the past (Populari database).
It seems that a first coat of arms was adopted in the mid-1980s. The Populari database shows it as blue with a metal ornament from the wall of some building, probably the Town Hall. I believe that the ornament pictures a ram's head in the base and there is the Socialist five-pointed star in the top, The central arrow may be intended to represent the clock tower (sahat kula).
In the first half of the 1990s, the emblem was somewhat modified to reflect the new period. The skyline of the town was added in the top part of the ornament, the star was removed and a large crescent was added along the base. The name of the municipality and a square with a fleur-de-lis was added in the chief. Probably various colour combinations were used, but I found only the black and white version.
