AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Pin depicting the coat of arms of the ASM Monaco football club, visible on the front. This pin is shield-shaped, topped with a stylized crown, typical of the Monegasque club's emblem. The upper part is adorned with a predominantly yellow and white crown, finely outlined in gold. The main part of the crest displays the inscription "ASM" in red capital letters on a white background, immediately recognizable. The rest of the shield is composed of alternating red and white vertical stripes, also bordered with gold trim, to recall AS Monaco's historical colors.

The surface of the pin has a shiny enamelled appearance, with reflections depending on the angle of the light. The outlines and color separations are clear, highlighting the manufacturing quality of this type of advertising and commemorative football-related object. No major defects are visible on the front, although there are some slight traces of use consistent with an old piece. The reverse is not visible in the photo, but a classic butterfly clasp system is distinguishable, partially perceptible on the side.

The color palette – red, white, yellow, and gold – is faithful to that of the club and enhances the decorative aspect of this pin. The object is displayed on a carved wooden box background, which is not included, allowing the pin's details to be fully appreciated. The general style evokes a production from the 80s-90s, a period when this type of enamelled pin was particularly popular with sports clubs for promotion and merchandising.

This pin is intended to be worn on clothing, a bag, or displayed in a showcase dedicated to sports memorabilia. It is a popular accessory for supporters wishing to show their attachment to AS Monaco, or for anyone collecting objects related to the history of French and European football.
