Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Gold sun hat against a red flag and blue sky, over wavy golden grain.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Badges and lapel pins bearing Mao's face were produced by the billions, and Mao himself called a halt to production in 1969 because the metal used was seen as wasteful. Behind a bust in a wide gold-crowned hat sit blue sky and a red flag at the left. Wavy golden fields run across the base with a red 5.7. The jacket has a rainbow sheen. It is 2 inches in diameter.

Hat and flag competing for attention, and both winning.
