The Municipality of Mionica uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner derived from the arms. The central motif is a silver crowned double-headed eagle on a gold mountain, and the chief is separated by a line in the shape of a šajkača cap. In addition to the official banner, a white flag with the greater arms is also in use.

A silver ribbon with the inscription “МИОНИЦА”.
A square red flag with a silver crowned double-headed eagle on a gold mountain; the upper edge is gold and in the shape of a šajkača, like the line of the chief.
Symbolism and meaning
According to the interpretation of Dragomir Acović, the line separating the chief recalls the šajkača, the characteristic Serbian soldier's cap. The mountain at the base of the shield is Ravna Gora, the stronghold of General Draža Mihailović in the Second World War, and the crowned eagle indicates that Mihailović led the royal army in resistance against the Germans and the communists.
