This is a vintage Royal Automobile Club of Belgium (Royal Automobile Club de Belgique / Royal Automobile Club van België) automobile badge, likely dating to the 1930s–1950s.
The front reads “ROYAL AUTOMOBILE CLUB BELGIQUE” in French, one of Belgium’s official languages.
* The gold crown on a red enamel center signifies the club’s royal patronage.
* The wheel/spoked-edge design was intended to evoke an automobile steering wheel or gear.
* The six small holes around the perimeter indicate it was mounted to a radiator grille or badge bar, rather than being worn as a lapel badge.
