The visible face features a bright red background, adorned in its center with a stylized black and gold football. The inscription \"AMICALE DES EDUCATEURS FOOTBALL GARD-LOZERE\" is perfectly legible, forming an arc around the ball. The lower part of the pin is decorated with a golden motif evoking an arched monument (probably the Pont du Gard, a local emblem), crossed by a black animal silhouette (visually identifiable as a goat or ibex, a regional reference).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe gold finish surrounds and structures the whole, providing contrast and brilliance. The contours are sharp, the surface shows a typical shine of old enamelled pins. The composition harmoniously integrates graphic elements, typical of regional sports badges from the 80s-90s. No manufacturer's logo is visible on the presented face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe object displays a retro aesthetic, characterized by the combination of bold colors (red, black, gold) and simple geometric patterns. This pin highlights local identity through its symbols: football, fauna, and regional architecture. The typography used for the text is in golden capital letters, well-centered and uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe hexagonal structure of the pin, quite rare for this type of object, reinforces its uniqueness. The details of the lower motif are in slight relief, accentuating the golden texture on the lower part. The quality of the enamel and the sharpness of the colors suggest careful craftsmanship, with no apparent chips or cracks on the visible face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
