Rectangular in shape, it has a flat, smooth surface with a printed or enameled motif, typical of 20th-century promotional items. The pin clasp visible on the back suggests a classic piercing attachment system, used for promotional or souvenir pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front face is well-centered on the flag motif, making the item immediately recognizable.
