Argentina marks Flag Day on 20 June, the anniversary of Manuel Belgrano's death in 1820. He was a lawyer and economist rather than a soldier by training, and he designed the flag in 1812 while commanding troops on the Paraná, choosing celeste and white after the ribbons worn by supporters of the May Revolution two years earlier. He raised it at Rosario on 27 February that year, without waiting for authorisation from Buenos Aires.
The Sol de Mayo followed in 1818, having already appeared on the first Argentine coin in 1813. It shows a human face drawn from Inti, the Inca sun god, framed by thirty-two rays that alternate sixteen straight with sixteen wavy.
The heater shield
This is the oldest and plainest of the shield outlines — flat along the top, the sides curving evenly down to a rounded point at the base. It carries the flag without cropping much of it, and the thick gold border keeps a clean edge against dark surfaces.
Two identical stickers per pack, printed in full colour on glossy vinyl and contour cut around the border. Sizes 5–50cm / 2–20in, peel and stick, no transfer tape.
