From the earliest times, human beings have been fascinated with the Dolphin. In civilizations throughout the world they have been regarded as a good luck symbol to anyone on the water. They are the guardians of the sea, a friend to those in need, and a symbol of new beginnings. In Italy, a country devastated by war, this coin was made to inspire a tired, battle weary country with hopes of a better tomorrow. This 5 lire coin was designed by Giuseppe Romagnoli, of the greatest Italian engravers whose talent is one of reasons the Italian Lire is known for its beauty and as a commemorative coin it was only minted for a limited period of time. It is highly collectible for its rarity and its symbolism and because the Dolphin is still so loved today.
The 5 lire with the dolphin and the rudder are a reminder of a reassuring symbol and that is a good omen for the recovery of post-war Italy which also includes a revival of seafaring activity (and trade) as well as other areas of productivity (agriculture and industry).
This versatile item can be worn as both a bracelet or a necklace, and is exactly what the Italians do for themselves, which is using different materials for a fresh, new look. It wraps around your wrist twice and a genuine limited edition Dolphin coin dangles from the bracelet. It can also be worn as a choker necklace in different lengths depending upon the size of the bracelet you chose, which is such a cool look. This product is so on trend as layering is so important. It's so easy to wear and I know you are going to fall in love with it.
