The surface of the button is decorated with a flower-like shape in the center made out of a formation of 8 small dots surrounding a large center dot.

There also appears to be a line of raised metal on the base of the button that runs the length of the button and passes underneath the loop.The button is in good condition. The face of the button is dark gray in color and shiny with only a few spots of corrosion, the back and the loop are much for corroded.
