Description: The centerpiece displays a raised, gilded St. Edward’s Crown (Queen's Crown) showcasing intricate velvet cap cross-hatching and pearl-studded arches set against a textured, frosted gold background. Positioned directly below the crown, a curved ribbon banner filled with deep blue enamel contains the uppercase designation "CANADA" rendered in a clean, polished gilt block font. The outer perimeter is beautifully bordered by an integrated, dual-strand twisted rope rim design that gives the piece an elegant, finished appearance. The reverse side features a robust, half-moon horseshoe wire buttonhole clip attachment meant to pass through a tunic lapel and is stamped with the manufacturer backmark "Canadian Buttons Ltd Montreal."
