The+Polish+Coat+Of+Arms

The polish coat of arms is basically the symbol of Poland, originating back when Poland was supposedly founded by Lech, who had seen the signature white eagle in its treetop nest, with rays of sunshine coming from behind its head, making it appear it had a crown. He then decided to settle there and put the eagle on the polish emblem. This is one of the many stories of how Poland was founded. The coat of arms itself has the white eagle with outstretched legs and wings on a red background. The history of the golden eagle goes back before the settlement of Poland and almost written history itself. The red in the coat of arms is believed to resemble a battle field coated with blood, as one of the myths go. The shield which it is shaped as was copied basically from the Lithuanian flag and the shape is still used today.
