The 5 schei de mona is a typical Venetian allegorical coin with the famous Venetian saying sinque schei de mona fà ben a tutti inscribed on it. It will be an extra Venetian gift for the recipient. Our coin is handcrafted in 925 silver, this very special “sexy” version is made every year in a very few pieces, it measures 21 mm and weighs 6.6 grams, on one side there is the inscription 5 schei de mona, while on the other side there is the inscription fa ben a tutti with the central “explicit” design in relief. It is available both normal and gold-plated (gold-plated costs 20, 00 euro more) – Most probably the 5 schei de mona comes from the Austrian one pfenning coin with the inscription ‘schei de munze’ that circulated when Lombardy-Venetia was under the Austrian Empire, between the late 1700s and mid-1900s – With time, the Venetians, for convenience, changed the name to ‘Sinque schei de mona’, and thus the 5 schei de mona coins were born, produced by various goldsmiths when Venice (and Italy) still expressed the best of its cultural identity, which is very rare these days! Having 5 schei de mona in your pocket in Venice depicts that when necessary you have to look a little stupid, in Venetian: Mona, in order not to get into trouble. Pretending not to understand, as a tactical expedient during a negotiation or discussion can be an excellent method. – to order with the coin we make: rings, brooches, cufflinks, pendants, money holders, also in gold. – To request information use the button “send a request for this product” call 041 5287549 or send an e mail to info@webjewels.it all jewellery is exclusively produced by our workshop in Venice.
