The visible side shows a stylized relief figure, wearing a red uniform with a matching cap, holding a white object in their raised right hand, likely a map or a tool. The Shell logo appears distinctly on the character's chest, highlighting the promotional aspect and the oil company's identity. The base of the pin displays the inscription \"j’aime\" (I love), with the letter \"a\" stylized with Shell's emblematic shell, adding a characteristic and identifiable graphic touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish has a golden metallic appearance, with enameled areas in red, white, and black, creating a striking contrast and good legibility of the elements. The golden outlines highlight the entire visual, typical of advertising pins from the 80s-90s. The relief of the character and the inscription enhance the visual effect, while the overall item remains compact, with no visible movable parts or detachable elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface shows some light signs of wear, particularly on the golden edges, indicating prior use but without affecting the legibility or color of the enamel.
