Depicts a woman holding a pink ribbon over her left breast. Inscriptions around are "25th Anniversary of the Pink Ribbon", the dual date 1992 and 2017, and the abbreviation RF (French Republic). On the outer edge 12 five-pointed stars representing the European Union.

The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and the color pink in general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer.

Charlotte Haley, who had battled breast cancer, introduced the concept of a peach-colored breast cancer awareness ribbon. She attached them to cards saying, “The National Cancer Institute’s annual budget is 1.8 billion US dollars, and only 5 percent goes to cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon.”
