Tkon is a community in Zadar on the southern end of
Pašman Island, just opposite Biograd
na moru on the coast. Several monasteries are there
preserving tradition from 9th and 10th century. I believe that
the whole community has about 1,000 inhabitants, the main place
of the same name having probably the half of it. The community is
established in 1997 by secession from the community of
Pašman.
The coat of arms of Tkon is azure a raven sable beaked and
membered or stantant on a scallop argent. The flag is blue with
yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle.
The table flag, matching probably the ceremonial flag, is blue
with the coat of arms in the middle, the name of the community
above it in two arches and below the arms there is the Glagolic
inscription 'KON' - the name of the place as it appears in
ancient manuscripts produced and still preserved there.

Checking the latest official gazettes of the Zadar County at
<www.zadarska-zupanija.hr>,
I found some news in the recently adopted statutes of several
municipalities:
Tkon: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Tkon, Službeni glasnik
Zadarske županije, br. 5/97 Statut Opcine Tkon, 20.01.2006,
Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, br. 2/06,
25.01.2006.
The new statutes beside containing the description of thecoat of
arms and flag, also include reference to the decision adopting
them:
Željko Heimer, 18 August 2006
Coat of Arms and flag designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from
Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central
State Office for Administration before 2006.
Željko Heimer, 23 May 2008
The new
statutes (Statut Opcine Tkon, 12.08.2009, Službeni
glasnik Zadarske županije, br. 16/2009, 19.08.2009) repeats
word for word articles regarding the symbols from the 2006
statutes, including the description of the coat of arms and flag
and reference to the 1997 decision adopting them.
