Coat of arms
The coat of arms of the General Constituent Assembly of Argentina shows a central emblem with two grasping hands (unity of the provinces) and a phrygian hat. The hands hold a pike as well, which enbodies the will to fight for freedom. On top the sun rises, symbolizing the rising of the nation of Argentina. Laurel leaves (glory) form a wreath around the central panel. On both sides flags, pikes and canons flank the whole.
