Vintage medal HDC 't Centrum 1981-1985 retro plaque badge accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rare decorative medal, badge or insignia type, from the club or organization "HDC 't Centrum", visible on the upper part of the object. The medal has a round shape adorned with a central motif representing a stylized bird with outstretched wings, surmounted by raised lettering. The inscription "HDC 't CENTRUM" is perfectly legible in an arc on the upper part, while the center displays "HDC het CENTRUM" in a banner integrated into the motif.

Below the main medal, five rectangular plates are suspended vertically by small chains. Each plate bears an engraved year, from 1981 to 1985, suggesting an annual award or a recurring participation badge. The set has a patinated metallic appearance, with a matte finish and an antique bronze tone, typical of commemorative badges or medals from the 1980s.

The photographed side shows no trace of signature or additional marking other than the main inscriptions. The edges of the medallion and plates are slightly rounded, with visible fasteners connecting the elements. The object rests on a yellow cushion, but no fastening system or pin is visible in the image.

The graphic style and typography, as well as the years indicated, clearly place this accessory in an 80s retro aesthetic. This type of medal was commonly used to distinguish loyalty or participation in recurring events organized by clubs, associations or specialized gatherings.

The set is distinguished by its verticality and the succession of plates, a sought-after feature for seniority badges or multiple distinctions.
