The selected design for the greater coat of arms lacks a wreath. The composition of gold mulberry leaves placed around the shield can not be called a wreath. A wreath of two branches and a ribbon was part of the competition as part of the criteria to be applied when selecting the best ranked design.
The selected design for the flag, however, has a different coat of arms from the adopted one. With the removal of the crossed mining hammers from the shield and their placement outside of it, the blazon was changed and so that becomes a different coat of arms.
