Silver necklace with 5 Schei de mona Luxury Satin
4 mm bead necklace in 925 high-quality silver with 5 schei de mona pendant in a special edition with a “Satin” finish – length 50 cm. The 5 Schei de Mona is a typically Venetian allegorical coin, inspired by the famous popular saying: “Sìnque schei de mona fa ben a tuti.” An ironic and benevolent wish, which encapsulates all the authentic and witty spirit of Venice. An extra-Venetian gift for the recipient. Each coin is handcrafted and minted in 925 silver, gilded silver or, to order, in 18-karat gold. This version, to be worn as a Brilliant Uncirculated SATIN pendant, is minted every year in a limited number of examples, with a diameter of 18 mm. Unlike the other 5 schei de mona which are reproduced using the lost-wax casting technique, this coin is technically perfect. The obverse is engraved with “5 Schei de Mona” – the reverse features the inscription “Fa ben a tutti” (It is good for everyone), with a magnificent relief Moeca lion in the center, the symbol of Venice. A bit of history: The “5 schei de mona” originates from an Austrian coin, the Pfennig, with the inscription “schei de munze,” which circulated during the Lombardy-Veneto Kingdom under the Austrian Empire, between the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. Over time, the Venetians—always practical and ironic—simplified the name to “schei de mona.” Thus was born this allegorical coin, reinterpreted by various goldsmiths, a symbol of a creative and culturally vibrant Venice. We, very attentive to tradition, have been offering this famous coin since the 1960s in Venice and the Veneto, with its spread to Friuli and beyond. The meaning: Having 5 Schei de Mona in your pocket in Venice means knowing that, sometimes, it’s worth pretending not to understand—”far el mona,” as they say—to avoid problems or to conduct a negotiation with cunning. A small talisman of folk wisdom, irony, and Venetian common sense. With the 5 Schei de Mona coin, we make rings, brooches, cufflinks, pendants, and money holders, also available upon request in gold, or as an original corporate gift in brass versions.
