Croatian Civic Heraldry SIBENIK AND KNIN COUNTY Origin/meaning: The crown in the arms is the crown of Zvonimir, based on the representation of the crown on the head of a Croatian king found on the old Croatian engraving on a baptistery in early Romanic style of the 11th century. The baptistery is found in Split (therefore, it is found also on the arms of the County of Split and Dalmatia), but it is believed that the figure represent the king Zvonimir-Dmitar (?-1089, ruled from 1075), who liberated Dalmatia from Venice, and founded the capital and seat of Croatian parliament in Knin. The sword is symbol of determination to defence. Literature : Image taken from http://zeljko-heimer-fame.from.hr/descr/index.html (with permission)
