AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin badge represents the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, commonly known as PACA. The visible side features a vertical rectangular shape with rounded corners, highlighting a dark blue background on the upper part. The inscriptions "Région Provence-Alpes Côte d’Azur" are clearly legible and made in raised gold letters, typical of tourist pin badges from the 1980s-1990s.

The lower part of the pin badge features a stylized map of the PACA region, composed of colored areas in yellow, green, blue, orange, and red, evoking the different departments. Below the map, three light blue and white wavy lines recall the Mediterranean Sea and the coastal landscapes of the region. The whole is encircled by a golden border that outlines the pin badge.

The surface has a glossy enameled appearance, characteristic of advertising or souvenir pins from this period. The contrast between the bright colors and the dark blue background enhances the stylized cartography and the gold inscriptions. No manufacturer's logo or additional reference is visible on the presented side.

The overall condition of the item appears good in the photo, with no visible scratches, chips, or wear on the front face. The shine of the enamel and the sharpness of the inscriptions suggest careful preservation, with no apparent signs of oxidation on the golden edge.

This pin badge is part of the tradition of tourist souvenirs distributed during stays, regional events, or territorial promotion campaigns. It constitutes a visual testimony to the graphic identity of the PACA region at the end of the 20th century.
