This badge has a round shape encircled by a raised golden frieze, with a central enamelled decoration. The inscription \"COVENTRY CITY F.C.\" appears in gold letters on a white background, surrounding a light blue central emblem with a golden ram's head, the club's iconic emblem. At the bottom, on a red enamelled background, is the mention \"THE SKY BLUES\" in gold letters, the team's historical nickname. The whole presents a marked contrast between the light blue, white and red enamelled areas and the golden reliefs, typical of 20th century British football badges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface shows golden metallic finishes, with a relief effect on the outer frieze and the letters. The coloured enamel has a good shine, although some micro-traces of use or irregularities are visible on the blue and red, without altering the legibility or the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe badge features graphics and manufacturing reminiscent of productions from the 1970s-1980s, a period during which this type of badge was commonly worn by supporters at matches or away games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis badge is designed to be worn as a brooch, with a fastening (not visible here) usually positioned on the back of the medallion. No manufacturer's mark is apparent on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of object is sought after for its decorative aspect and its direct link to the history of English football and the visual identity of clubs. Badge, insignia, pin or supporter's brooch, it is a characteristic accessory of British stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
