The coat of arms is "Vert a rake in pale, a pitchfork and a scythe in saltire all argent and in base a ploughshare or".
Čađavica was granted in 1852 market rights. The coat of arms may have been granted at the same time. Certainly it looks similar in style like many coat of arms of the agriculturaly progressive settlements granted in the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Monarchy in the time.
