The medal is shaped like a smiling clown's face, adorned with a five-pointed crown. The relief of the design and letters stands out clearly from the background, providing excellent readability for the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side displays a matte metallic finish, with a slightly satin appearance. The contours of the face, the prominent nose, the ears, and the mouth are well-defined, giving the object a strong visual identity, characteristic of the festive iconography of Swiss carnivals. The capitalized lettering, both on the crown and the base, is crisp and well-defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object features a graphic style typical of the late 1980s, recognizable by the simplification of forms and the accentuation of caricatured features. No chips or major flaws are visible on the front, which retains a beautiful, uniform patina. The edge is regular, with no apparent signs of impact or deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is placed on a polished wooden surface, next to a yellow cushion, which allows appreciation of the subtle shine of its surface and the quality of the relief. No attachment system or additional inscriptions are visible on this side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscriptions \"DELEMONT\" and \"CARNAVAL 89\" confirm that it is a souvenir badge or medal issued for the Delémont Carnival in 1989, a renowned festive event in French-speaking Switzerland.
