Ozzy Osbourne is featured on San Antonio’s first-ever Fiesta medal.
KENS5-TV reports the medal is being sold by Artpace, a local non-profit dedicated to the advancement of contemporary art.
"We sold out in 48 hours online," said Artpace executive director Amanda Cruz.
The medal was designed by artist Jim Mendiola and Ruben Ortiz-Torres; it pictures Ozzy as a bat, with an upside down Alamo serving as each wing.
Ozzy has a well-known history in San Antonio - particularly at the Alamo. He was supposedly banned from ever performing in the city after he was arrested in 1982 for urinating near the historis site.
In 1992, Ozzy reportedly donated $10,000 to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas — caretakers of The Alamo, before being allowed to perform again in San Antonio. "We all have done things in our lives that we regret,” said Ozzy at the time. “I am deeply honored that the people of San Antonio have found it in their hearts to have me back. I hope that this donation will show that I have grown up."
The annual 10-day Fiesta festival wrapped up Sunday; the event’s origins date back to the late 19th century. The festival began as a single event to honor the memory of the battles of The Alamo and San Jacinto.
Ozzy and Black Sabbath kicked off their 2013 world tour recently in Auckland, New Zealand.
