The Coat of Arms of Argentina was established in its current form in 1944. At the top is the famous sun symbol of Argentina, that is also found on the Flag of Argentina. The sun symbolizes the rising of Argentina, and that is why it is in the rising position. The shaking hands symbolize the union of the provinces wanting to protect their freedom (Phrygian cap).
