The meaning
The front is a comeback with a grin. They laugh at me because I am different; I laugh at them because they are all the same. Being the odd one out can feel lonely. This coin treats it as the better deal.
The back drops the joke and says the serious part: always stay true to who you are. It is easier to fit in. It is worth more not to.
The design
The front shows a grinning joker in a jester's collar, a cloud of HA HA HA above him and a playing card on each side carrying the two lines. The back is built like the back of a card: a large J and the word Joker under a jester's hat, framed by fine scrollwork and diamonds.
On good days and hard days
-
On good days, it is a proud reminder that being different is what got you this far.
-
On hard days, when people laugh, judge or try to make you fit in, it gives you the joker's answer and the serious one: always stay true to who you are.
Carry it
It is a good pocket coin for anyone who gets told to tone it down. It also earns its place at the card table: one customer uses it as a poker card protector.
Give it
Give it to the kid who never followed the crowd, the friend who dresses the way they want, the musician or writer in the family, or the poker buddy who always reads the table.

- Each coin is antiqued with a special patina so it looks like it has already been in circulation. The patina never settles the same way twice, so no two coins look exactly alike. Small variations in color and shading are normal, and they are what make your coin one of a kind.
