Coat of arms of Donja Voća - Image by Željko Heimer, 29 December 2010
The coat of arms of Donja Voća is "Azure on a base vert a garb or ribboned gules in front of a rake in bend, a scythe in bend sinister above a spade between a plough and a harrow all argent".
This is based on the municipality seal of 1864, whose colored version is found in Laszowski's Grbovi Jugoslavije [lsv39], blazoned there simply as "Azure a garb
between agricultural tools".
