Front Description
One of 11 WORLD SHOWCASE PAVILION pins, released in 1999, representing the different countries found in the WDW EPCOT World Showcase.
This real-cloisonne pin features a red square with a dark green border; at the bottom is a blue bar with "Japan" in white lettering. Superimposed on the square is a diamond-shaped image of the Japan pavilion.
This pin was listed in "The Walt Disney World Resort Pin Catalog" (published by Disney in 1999 for the 2000 Millennium Celebration).
Note: There is another pin that has an identical front - part of an LE 500 framed set - but the LE pin has a double-post back.
In April 2001, Disney auctioned off one pin and the mold (no longer in production) of this pin for $180.
