Hello everyone! Does anyone know what this pin is? It is about the size of a nickel, it has a blue outer ring and white inner circle, which has a cross, olive leaves, two crossing keys and what looks like maybe a crown or honestly a religious hat or something. Any help ID'ing would be greatly appreciated!

I think it is a papal tiara symbol. The 2 keys represent spiritual power and wordly power. They used the tiara until the early '60's.
 
Thanks! I looked it up and I think you're right, it does look very very similar to the vatical Papal symbol. I'm still hoping to find this exact one to date it, but you've nailed it!
