Origin/meaning

The mining settlement was founded probably at the end of the 12th century near the tin-ore mines by the Hroznata family. It is possible that al ready at that time the town's seal received its origin­al design, which was later taken over by the armorial bearings of the town: deer antlers from the Hroznata arms with crossed mining ham­mers in between.

In the 16th century the town was promoted to a Free Mining Town by the Šlik family, owners of the region at the time. At that time the municipal coat-of-arms was arranged in the form it has maintained up to the present with the smaller arms of the Šlik family under the antlers.
