Description

This antique pin features a football trophy, stylized in the iconic shape of the European Cup. The visible side features colorful enamel, predominantly golden yellow, with touches of green and blue, as well as red details. The pin's outline is highlighted by a shiny gold effect that accentuates the relief of the trophy and its two distinct vertical handles.

In the center of the piece, several inscriptions in capital letters are distinguishable, partly on a green background: "OLYMPIQUE DE MARSEILLE" and "ETOILE ROUGE BELGRADE," as well as the location and date "BARI 1991" inscribed at the bottom, on a blue background. A small, stylized red and gold crest completes the decor, symbolizing the confrontation between the two teams. A simplified green OM logo, characteristic of early 1990s graphics, is also noticeable.

The pin's surface has a smooth and shiny finish, with colored enamel applied in solid areas. The outlines and color separations are highlighted in gold, typical of vintage sports pin manufacturing of the period. No major defects appear on the visible side, apart from some micro-wear or surface irregularities due to age.

This commemorative pin refers to the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup final in Bari, between Olympique de Marseille and Red Star Belgrade. The object is designed to proudly display the colors and history of the Marseille club, with an aesthetic faithful to the sporting memories of the era.

The reverse side and attachment system are not visible in the photo, but the front shows a generally correct condition, without apparent chips or deformation. The quality of the enamel and the sharpness of the inscriptions attest to careful manufacturing.
