Part of the worldwide City Icon Series. Each pin is a large guitar body with gold base metal, a prominent city name and one or more iconic local images. Design is 3D pin on pin, with centered Hard Rock Cafe logo as top layer and all other elements as bottom layer.
Seattle pin features Mount Rainier behind a city skyline flanked by evergreen trees. Located about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Seattle, Rainier is the highest peak in the Cascade Range, at 14,410 feet (4,392 meters) above sea level. Mountain on pin is two-tone purple with jagged patches of white snow. Above mountain is light blue sky with radiating gold sun rays and pale yellow clouds with pale blue trim. Skyline consists of thirteen buildings of various sizes, eight of them green, five light green. On either side of skyline are two towering dark green pine trees that rise off the side of the guitar.
Bottom third of pin, beneath skyline, features a thick white horizontal stripe above a thinner teal horizontal stripe. City name appears on white stripe in large gold capital letters. On either side of city name are three brown coffee beans. Seattle is famous for coffee, most notably as birthplace and headquarters of Starbucks. Teal stripe contains the year (2015) in gold, with a gold star on either side. Bottom third of pin has an elegant gold border, like an antique mirror, with a large flourish at bottom center.
Hard Rock Cafe logo at center of pin has no city name.
Back of pin says "Limited Edition 100" and does not state manufacturer. Cafe staff say manufacturer is Pin USA.
Sold on a mirrored silver backing card shaped like a guitar body.
