AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Period pin, stylized in shape, featuring an enameled finish on the visible face. This badge shows a vibrant yellow background with floral motifs: a red flower on the left and stylized green elements in the center, evoking a coat of arms or an association symbol. The border appears to have a gold finish, which highlights the contours of the pin.

The upper part of the pin bears the inscription "JUMELAGE" (TWINNING) in gold letters on a yellow background. In the lower part, a horizontal band features the inscription "ATI - JEANNE D'ARC" in capital letters on a white background, perfectly legible. The entire motif and inscriptions are clear, with well-preserved colors and a design typical of association or school badges from the 80s.

The visible surface shows a slight patina, particularly on the golden edges, which is consistent with old use. No chips or major defects are visible on the front. The graphic style, typography, and colorful enamel are characteristic of pins produced in the late 20th century, especially for twinning events, school events, or association events.

This pin is designed to be worn on clothing or an accessory, and its compact size makes it discreet and elegant. The overall visual suggests a French creation from the 80s, probably made for a twinning event involving an entity named "ATI Jeanne d’Arc."

The metal manufacturing with an enameled face (based on observable appearance) is typical of pins from this period. The contrasting colors yellow, red, and green, as well as the clear inscription, facilitate the identification of this badge as a commemorative or symbolic object.
