The historical coat of arms of the town of Dobrna (image) was used before the adoption of the present coat of arms, as "Per pale argent a crow sable holding a ring in its beak and tierced per chevron issuing from sinister gules, argent and sable. Mantle dexter sable and argent, sinister argent. In the crowned crest the crow with the ring".
These arms were used by the Knights of Dobrna in 1567.
