Vintage enamel square badge - Sickness Insurance Social Security logo

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin has a square shape and a golden visual finish on its front, with an enameled central decoration. The main part of the pin displays a stylized motif composed of four moving human silhouettes, in blue on a golden background, typical of the French Health Insurance (Assurance Maladie) visual identity. The logo occupies most of the surface, framed by a discreet golden border.

In the lower part, a perfectly legible inscription appears in golden letters: "l'Assurance Maladie sécurité sociale" (French Health Insurance social security). The typography is faithful to French institutional materials from the 1980s-1990s, suggesting production from this period, although this cannot be confirmed with certainty without further information. The whole is treated with a smooth finish, with a marked contrast between the dark blue enameled areas and the golden parts of the backing.

The pin is presented from the front, allowing the entire front surface to be observed. No details of the reverse or the attachment system are visible in the provided image. The piece appears to be in good overall condition, with uniform shine and no major apparent defects on the front.

This type of pin was often used for identification or to enhance the value of Social Security agents, or distributed during institutional communication campaigns. Its square format and clean graphics give it an immediately recognizable style, emblematic of French public communication at the end of the 20th century.

The surface shows a beautiful color homogeneity, without noticeable variation, and the outline of the pin is sharp, without any visible chips or deformation on the front. The stylized motif of the silhouettes, associated with the enameled finish, adds a sophisticated graphic touch for this type of promotional item.
