The visible side features a transparent background revealing a colorful escutcheon, dominated by a yellow shield with a rampant black bear, the emblem of Obersaasheim. The inscription \"OBERSAASHEIM\" appears in clear capital letters above the escutcheon. The keychain is equipped with a metallic ring with an antique patina, connected by a pivoting attachment also made of metal, showing typical signs of oxidation found on vintage items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main part of the keychain has a smooth, shiny, slightly domed surface, hinting at a typical manufacturing style of promotional items from the 1960s to 1980s. The transparency of the material, combined with the clarity of the colors (bright yellow and deep black), gives the whole a genuinely retro look. The assembly of the keychain and the typography used for the town's name suggest a mid-century inspired design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central motif is distinguished by its graphic simplicity and the visual impact of the coat of arms, easily recognizable to anyone familiar with French municipal heraldry.
