Argentina

The national flag of Argentina dates from 1812.

The Flag has a 9:14 ratio
It is a triband, composed of three equally wide horizontal bands coloured light blue, white and light blue in the center a yellow Sun of May was added to the center.
The flag without the sun is considered the Ornamental Flag (Spanish: Bandera de Ornato). While both versions are equally considered the national flag, the ornamental version must always be hoisted below the Official Ceremony Flag.
