Loosely translated "Salatiga Coat of Arms". Perhaps there is significant explanation of those 3 stars with Salatiga?
This one below appeared in 1940 map by the Dutch colonial government.

From NGL:
Literature : Rühl, 1933; Koffie Hag albums, 1920s and http://tlvima.leidenuniv.nl
The arms in the Koffie Hag albums +/- 1930
And the emblem today. The motto is in Sanskrit, meaning "Be happy all the people!"
(credit: wikipedia). The phrase "ÇRÎR=ASTU SWASTI PRAJÂBHYAH" is taken from the Monolith of Plumpungan. The "elephant" is Ganesha, symbolising education.
