It's not something like an emboss with spot metallic ink?

- The gloopy ink, poor mans version is called thermography but does not involve a letter press.Josev
- Good call on thermography. I have been out of the print side of things far too long.ETM
- Aye, looks like it might be thermography - care to answer in a post so I can upvote it, Josev? Thanks!detritus
- Engraving is more precise, uses (or used to) a copper plate.Josev

Looking at the image it almost looks like textile, like an iron-on patch. Likely just photoshopped to simulate that effect though.
Do you know what the source is?

I don't think it's thermography, the detail and edges are to defined. I think it's engraving and someone has messed with the image in photoshop to add contrast.
