Symbols of the Coat of Arms
The coat of arms depicts several elements, each of which has a deep symbolic meaning:
The two hands holding each other symbolize the unity of the peoples and provinces, as well as their desire for union.
The helmet, installed at the top of the coat of arms, represents freedom.
The horizontal wreath of olive and laurel branches that surrounds the coat of arms symbolizes peace and victory.
The river and mountains on the coat of arms reflect the geographical diversity of Argentina.
