| Reverse description | A bold, cartoon relief of Krusty the Clown, the animated television character from The Simpsons, depicted facing forward with an exuberant grin and both thumbs raised in his signature gesture. The character is rendered in the distinctive style of creator Matt Groening, whose facsimile signature appears in the upper left field; the Perth Mint's P mintmark is visible to the right of the central design. The copyright mark ©20CF appears to the right. The legend KRUSTY THE CLOWN is inscribed in large capital letters along the lower arc of the rim. |

| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's long-running licensing arrangement with 20th Century Fox, this piece belongs to a broader series of legal-tender coins tied to The Simpsons franchise. Australia's willingness to lend its currency authority to pop-culture collectibles is a product of the Perth Mint's commercial model — it operates as a for-profit enterprise under the Gold Corporation, not as a central bank facility, which gives it latitude that most sovereign mints lack.
Struck in four-nines fine silver at a mintage typically capped in the low thousands, these issues move almost entirely through the collector and gift market and rarely see secondary trading at spot.
