In Terry Pratchett‘s Discworld series of fantasy novels, the Fools’ Guild (full title: The Guild of Fools and Joculators and College of Clowns) is a trading and training organisation for clowns, jesters and other practitioners of slapstick humour. It is located in Ankh-Morpork, the largest city on the Discworld, next door to the Guild of Assassins, for which it is often mistaken.

This design is comprised of black, white and azure enamel flanked by two silver four legged friends. Finished with three golden bells and some rather lovely red gems.

Guild motto on the metallic scroll – Dico Dico Dico – translates as ‘I say, I say, I say’.

Very limited stock.

Originally released in 2010, this collector’s pin proved to be the most popular one ever released, selling in record time and quickly becoming something of a Discworld rarity. Featuring the motto OMNIS QVI, CORVSCAT EST OR (All That Glitters Is Gold), the panels depict flames and fire on blue and red enamel backgrounds.

“The Alchemists’ Guild is opposite the Gamblers’ Guild. Usually. Sometimes it’s above it, or below it, or falling in bits around it. The gamblers are occasionally asked why they continue to maintain an establishment opposite a Guild which accidentally blows up its Guild Hall every few months, and they say: ‘Did you read the sign on the door when you came in?’” — Terry Pratchett – Men At Arms
