The Gonzalo 100th Milestone Visit Pin, created to celebrate Gonzalo Santiago’s 100th Milestone Visit at the Hard Rock Hotel New York. The design is a wonderful tribute to the Hard Rock Café New York Staff Member & the Collecting Community’s NYC Ambassador. Gonzalo is a ‘One-Man’ welcoming committee greeting Hard Rock Travelers when they visit the Big Apple, his kindness & generosity is well known throughout the Hard Rock Community, helping Hard Rock Visitors enjoy the wonders of ‘ The City that never sleeps’.
The pin design made to resemble a gold coin freshly minted at the Hard Rock Pin Vault. A profile image of Gonzalo is centered, ‘NEW YORK’ placed at the top of the pin, ‘100 VISITS’ placed to the left, the year of release ‘2022’ positioned to the right. The intials/letters 'GS' placed just under the '2022' replicate a 'Mint Mark' placed on coins. The ‘HARD ROCK HOTEL’ logo sits just below Gonzalo’s profile & placed at the base of the pin is the phrase ‘IN ROCK WE TRUST’.
The pin was scheduled to be released at the 2022 Hard Rock Café New York ‘PIN-O-WEEN’ Pin Collector Event, but production delays pushed that release to Nov. 16, 2022. The Pin was only available to the Attendees of the 2022 Hard Rock Café New York ‘PIN-O-WEEN’ Collector Event. The design was never available through the HRH Retail Rock Shop.
