About the reverse enamel oval badge
Reverse enamel flips the usual look: instead of colored letters on a metal panel, the panel itself is filled with color and the letters stand up in polished metal. On this oval the effect runs through all four ribbons, so the title, agency and city read clearly against deep color while the sunburst and laurel stay bright.
