The object features rounded corners and a circular hole at the top, probably intended for hanging or attachment. The center is decorated with an embossed motif: a stylized monogram surrounded by an ornamental circle, with partially legible circular inscriptions, typical of distinction medals or old commemorative plaques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has a finely striated texture in concentric circles, providing a specific visual effect in the light. Several marks of oxidation, brown spots, and signs of wear are visible, particularly around the central motif and on the edges, testifying to the object's age. The irregular patina and visible scratches reinforce the retro and authentic appearance of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central monogram, though difficult to decipher precisely, is surrounded by a circular decoration composed of engraved letters and motifs, likely of institutional, religious, or associative inspiration. No manufacturing details or marks are clearly identifiable on the visible side. The overall impression suggests an old artisanal or semi-industrial production, typical of objects awarded at ceremonies or special events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant color is a matte gold, with reflections slightly tarnished by time.
