DescriptionRound metal button with a printed image of a saint wearing a gold triangular-shaped hat, a cape, and a cross around his neck. A metal crucifix hangs from a small loop of ribbon from the bottom of the pin, and behind that is affixed a ribbon of red, white and blue cut at the bottom into a chevron shape.
