History
On October 20, 1580 the government of the city of La Trinidad and the port of Buen Ayre, headed by Juan de Garay, received an insignia sent to it by the crown for their approval.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It depicted an eagle which was unfortunately looking to the left (the right of the observer), which in heraldry suggests "illegitimacy".Script error: No such module "Unsubst". There was another error, in that the crown was royal (which is supposed to be reserved for the highest nobility).Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Perhaps because of the presumed distaste of heraldry experts, the insignia was not approved until September 20, 1596, and fell out of use quite quickly.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On November 29, 2012, the Buenos Aires City Legislature passed a bill that modified and restored the original format of the insignia. The new symbol is a refined version of the coat of arms approved on July 7, 1856 by the City Council of Buenos Aires which received final approval by Order of December 3, 1923. It is an oval with the image of the Río de la Plata, two ships symbolizing the two foundations of the City, and a white dove with its wings spread over the sky symbolizing the Holy Spirit.[2][3][4][5]
