So why did the AAC badge have a red background? Red being a colour not in any way associated with the AAC.

I cannot post the picture due to copyright restrictions. But, if you can get hold of 25th July 2007 Bosleys postal auction catalog, item 201 - there is
a picture of an AAC bullion badge on a maroon background. Regardless
of where you got the info from, this is a silver wire on maroon version.
What can I say.......
I do not have the prices realised, but, I can imagine it wasn't cheap.....
