Tkon is a community in Zadar on the southern end of Paman
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 Paman.
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.
