King Arthur Carrousel Shield - Fantasyland Icons - Hidden Mickey 2012

This pin features a heraldic shield inspired by the King Arthur Carrousel, a classic staple of Fantasyland at Disneyland Resort. It is part of the 2012 Hidden Mickey series, specifically from the Fantasyland Icons Wave A, Set 4 collection. The design showcases a stylized lion or bear figure in a metallic silver finish set against a vibrant purple enamel background, framed by a yellow decorative border. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Hidden Mickey series release, which are typically found through pin trading with Cast Members at the parks. These pins are highly sought after by collectors who focus on attraction-themed memorabilia and park icons. The shield design pays homage to the intricate, medieval-style heraldry found on the horses and rounding boards of the iconic carousel. Because it is part of a specific Hidden Mickey set, it holds a nostalgic place for collectors who frequented Disneyland Resort in 2012. Its clean, shield-shaped design makes it a versatile piece for any collection centered on Fantasyland attractions. The pin serves as a miniature commemorative piece for one of the oldest and most beloved attractions in Disney history.
