Description
Released during the Summer Olympics season of 1987 through 1999 as a limited release set of pins honoring the United States' participation in the Seoul Games, this pin features Donald against a white background carrying a brown-handled rifle while wearing safety goggles and sportswear. The design captures the character in a left-facing stance with distinct rainbow hues and gold trim along the edges to commemorate his team effort, which included medals in boxing, wrestling, diving, shooting, swimming, and field hockey among other events. Set as 18-pin collections, each item is constructed from dark blue enamel with an epoxy top coating and features a clear epoxy finish that highlights the intricate details of the Olympic rings and the phrase "Disneyland Olympic Team Salute USA." The reverse side displays a gold waffle-weave pattern to match the original packaging, secured by a brooch-style clasp and stamped with official Disney company markings.
This limited edition set represents a specific moment in American sports history where Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Daisy, Goofy, and other iconic figures showcased their athleticism, from water polo to archery, all designed as a tribute to the international multi-sport event that took place in South Korea.
