Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Profile in a peaked cap, rimmed in silvery, with scenery creeping in at the bottom edge.

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. Glossy red fills the field behind a silvery profile in a peaked cap. The rim is a slightly wavy silvery band. Along the lower edge, silvery shapes of terrain and machinery crowd in and break the circle. It is 1.75 inches in diameter.

A small disc with a lot of landscape to fit in.
