But that's only one clown and the guy wanted a set...
I was going to mention the clown troop on Canadian paper money but there
are a couple in this group who see red at the mere mention of paper money
in r.c.coins. It's too bad as they are a good clown act with lots of colour
and birds.

Official coins are propaganda items, so you will have a hard time
finding real clowns on coins. I can think of a few people on coins who
have at least one attribute of a clown, though:
1) the Roman emperor Elegabalus started life as an entertaining dancer
in a temple. He is known for extreme debaucheries;
2) Henry VIII, king of England. He debased the silver coins to the
point where the copper shone through the silver on the highest points,
hence Henry's popular nickname: "old coppernose" (Henry's portrait is
"en face", not "en profil", which is the norm nowadays). Use your
fantasy and it's a red nose;
3) George III, king of England. During the Napoleonic wars the Bank of
England re-issued captured Spanish Eight reales pieces counterstamped
with a small portrait of George III for somewhat less then 5 shillings
(a crown). The comment of John Q. Public:
"two King's heads not worth a Crown".
To counter imitations, the bank improved on its trick by overstamping
the whole Spanish coin with a portrait of George III, which lead to
the comment:
"The Bank, to make its Spanish Dollars pass,
Stamped the head of a fool on the head of an ass".
Well, isn't a fool a clown?
