In the era of 1818, the emblem of sun was publicized on the flag argentine. The Argentina country flag was first adopted on 25th February 1818. So at last on 25th February 1818 the flag Argentina has become the official Argentina flag. The official Argentina flag contains three horizontal strips and also the emblem of sun, but the general occasional flag of Argentina, which is not the Argentina national flag, still contains just three horizontal strips, without emblem, as before the adoption of the current argentine flag.
