Badge is in the shape of a shield with two corners and a point at the top.
The center of the badge has a round seal. The seal is yellow and has a pair
of gold hands holding two people colored yellow who are casting gold shadows.
Below the hands are the letters "DAROE" in gold.
Above the seal is a banner with black lettering which says "CAJA DE SEGURO SOCIAL".
That means something like "SOCIAL SECURITY BANK".
On either side of the seal is a branch in gold and green.
Below the seal is a banner with the title "INSPECTORES" which means "INSPECTORS".
Below the banner is a box with the word "PANAMA" in black letters, and below
that box is a smaller box with the badge number of "64".
The badge has a smooth background and is gold in color.

Discussion
|
This badge is considered suspicious in that it has a plastic type coating,
similar to the known fake FK-103.1 (FF DD Policia Counterfeit).
I would appreciate
e-mail from anyone who can add anything to this information.
