The item has a heraldic shield shape, topped with a stylized red and gold crown, reminiscent of traditional regional coats of arms. Against a dark blue background, the center of the pin displays a white shield strewn with black ermine, framed by two stylized cream or gold lions, classic elements of heraldic bestiary. The word \"BRETAGNE\" is inscribed in legible gold letters on the lower part of the coat of arms. The whole is encircled by a golden border and adorned with small stars on the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pin's surface has an enameled appearance, with vivid and contrasting colors: navy blue, white, gold, red, and black for the motifs. The outline and details appear to have a golden finish, giving the whole a precious and decorative effect, typical of souvenir pins from past decades. The visual rendering evokes an object from the 1980s-1990s, without being able to assert it categorically, but the style and aesthetic are consistent with this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pin is presented on a red velvet case, which highlights the enamel's brilliance and the fineness of the details. No major defects are visible on the photographed side; the surface appears clean, without scratches or notable chips, although slight traces of use or oxidation on the golden edge may appear in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central motif, with its ermine and lions, corresponds to the historical emblems of Brittany. This type of pin was often distributed for advertising or tourist purposes, serving as a regional souvenir or a marker of territorial belonging. The whole offers an authentic and vintage look, sought after by collectors of regional souvenirs or retro advertising items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, with possible slight traces of use on the visible side.
