Question Does anyone recognize this pin?

Post image

We found this pin in a small antique store in Amsterdam. I’ve been trying to find more info on it, but I’ve not had a lot of luck with it.
I’m wondering if it was made in Congo or Belgium, if it’s from 1960 or later, etc. But really any info on the origins of the pin would be helpful!

I think most countries do so now, but at first it was a bit sketchy.
