Missing Ornament

Golden ornaments from 1986-2024
I'm wondering if anyone has an extra Golden ornament from 2014. It was green and showed the Boettcher Mansion. I did an inventory this year, and found that I'm missing that one. I'd be happy to buy it or trade it for one of my duplicates--which go back to the '80s!
Thanks,
