The Simpsons is a cultural touchstone for a generation and became the longest-running prime-time show on television in 2018. A crucial part of that success is owed to instantly recognizable recurring characters like Krusty the Clown, the cynical and burnt-out entertainer whose own eponymous show features in many a classic Simpsons misadventure. It’s filmed at “Krustylu Studios” in a nod to the iconic Desilu Studios of “I Love Lucy” fame, and it guest stars Krusty’s long-suffering sidekick Sideshow Mel, along with the slapstick cat and mouse duo “Itchy” and “Scratchy.” Together with the hilariously hapless Simpsons patriarch Homer, these elements now combine on a precious pure silver collectible from the Perth Mint. The 2022 Colorized Tuvalu The Simpsons Krusty Proof 1 oz Silver Coin is available to you from Provident Metals.

History

Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky is one of the most long-established recurring characters on the animated sitcom The Simpsons. Better known as Krusty the Clown, he’s a cynical and addiction-riddled entertainer who often gets mixed up in the Simpson family’s comedic misadventures, and whose personal brand appears on everything from fast food restaurants to clocks, toys, swabs, vodkas, and a clown school. He epitomizes the signature blend of dark humor, absurdism, and canny use of pop culture references that made the show a success, all of it wrapped around a surprisingly hopeful and upbeat core.
