DescriptionThe pin is circular with a blue cloth center. On the center is "Ike" in what looks like small fake pearls outlined in what appear to be smaller, silver, metal circles that could be connected and made from one long strip. Beneath that is "56" embroidered in metalic thread. The blue circular center is bordered by more of the silver outlining and then a strip of gold shiny material. The pattern on the very edge alternates from silver half circles with a red spot in the center and gold triangles.
