Coats of arms of Poland
The coat of arms of Poland from 1945 to 1989, with the main difference that eagle no longer wears a crown. The red escutcheon wears a white eagle with a golden beak and golden claws. On the wings a band and a cinquefoil are at the centre. The eagle refers to the legendary origin of Poland. It is said that the founder of Poland (Lech) saw a white eagle lit up by the red sunset and decided to start a settlement there. This was decided to mute reactionary forces.
