Description
This pin depicts a commemorative badge of Olympique de Marseille, a historic French football club. The front features a rounded shape highlighted by a golden star, with an enameled finish in green, gold, navy blue, red, and black. The green border bears the inscription "CHAMPION DE FRANCE," while the center displays a stylized map of France with the OM logo and the motto "DROIT AU BUT" in golden letters on a central background.

The design combines the outline of the Hexagon with a blue, white, and red tricolor motif, reminiscent of the French flag. The OM logo is perfectly legible, confirming its official affiliation with Olympique de Marseille. The golden star attached to the right of the badge evokes victory or a championship title, a significant detail in the club's history.

The surface of the pin has a smooth and glossy appearance, characteristic of enameled badges from the late 20th century. The colors remain vibrant, with a strong contrast between the golden areas and the solid colors. No major defects are visible on the front, suggesting good preservation of the enamel and graphic details.

There is also a golden border around the badge, as well as precise finishing on the lines and letters. The pin is placed on a light textile background, with no indication of the attachment system on the back (not visible).

This type of badge was often issued to celebrate Olympique de Marseille's French championship titles, particularly during the 1980s-1990s when the club achieved numerous national successes.
