Coroner Embroidered Patch Featuring Bullfrog County Nevada State Outline with Green Bullfrog on Gold

Description

This custom coroner embroidered patch was designed for Bullfrog County in Nevada — one of the most historically unique and short-lived counties in American history, existing only from 1987 to 1989 — featuring a detailed green bullfrog perched on a gold Nevada state outline on a vivid red twill base, creating a collector’s patch with exceptional novelty and regional historical significance.

Shape & Base: Wide dome or bell shape — broader than tall with a flat bottom edge, angled lower sides, and a broad rounded upper arc — on vivid red twill fabric with a bright gold yellow merrowed border edge. The bold red base is an immediately striking and distinctive choice that creates strong contrast for the gold state outline centerpiece and gold lettering throughout, giving this patch exceptional visual impact.

Top Section: “BULLFROG COUNTY” arches in bold gold embroidered block lettering across the upper curve of the patch, following the dome’s interior contour from side to side with strong gold-on-red contrast and even character spacing — the full county name filling the upper arc with confident typographic presence. The unusual county name is itself a significant design element, referencing the Bullfrog Mining District where gold was discovered in 1904 near Beatty, Nevada — the historical basis for Bullfrog County’s brief existence.

Center: A gold Nevada state outline silhouette occupies the full center field — the distinctive Nevada boundary shape rendered in bright gold satin-stitch thread with accurate geographic detail including the rectangular upper portion, angled southwest corner cut, and irregular southern notch. The state outline is sized generously to fill the patch’s center field with bold visual presence. Perched atop and overlapping the gold Nevada state outline, a large detailed bullfrog is rendered in rich dark green, teal, and white thread — the frog depicted in a classic sitting pose with body upright, front legs extended downward, large eyes visible at the head, white underbelly detail across the chest and belly, and individual toe and foot detail on all four legs. The green frog against the gold state outline creates a strong two-element composition with excellent color contrast — the dark green frog standing out boldly against the gold Nevada shape beneath it.

Bottom Section: “CORONER” is embroidered in bold gold block lettering centered along the lower field beneath the Nevada state outline, providing the department or role identification with strong gold-on-red contrast that matches the upper county name text treatment and completing the full patch identification with clean visual symmetry.

Embroidery Quality: The vivid red base with gold Nevada state outline, dark green bullfrog, and gold lettering creates an exceptionally bold, high-contrast composition with outstanding novelty and regional character. The Nevada state outline achieves accurate geographic boundary detail — the distinctive corner cut and state shape are precisely rendered in gold satin-stitch. The bullfrog figure achieves impressive naturalistic detail at medium scale — individual toe pads, underbelly texture, eye detail, and body proportion are all rendered through directional thread variation across the green and white palette. The gold lettering is bright and consistent at both the upper county name arc and lower coroner designation. The gold merrowed border provides a clean, durable finish.
