5 euro silver Against violence, together with women

Together with Women and against all forms of violence, the message of this coin resonates loud and clear, as bright as its colours. The red shoes, symbol of dignity and determination, intertwine with the circles of life and the profound verses of Alda Merini’s poem convey a vibrant message of hope and rebirth ... "da queste profonde ferite usciranno farfalle libere” (from these deep wounds free butterflies will rise). 

Obverse: At the centre, the text of the poem entitled "Free Butterflies", divided towards the end by a tear from which butterflies emerge. Arch-shaped, the inscription “REPUBBLICA ITALIANA”. At the bottom, “Alda Merini”, author of the poem. 

Reverse: In the centre, inside two concentric circles, a pair of red shoes, symbol of the fight against violence towards women; at the top “5 EURO”, coin’s value; on the right “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome and “2025”, year of the coin’s issue; at the bottom “MOMONI”, signature of the designer. Arch-shaped, “INSIEME ALLE DONNE CONTRO LA VIOLENZA” (with the women against violence) with a decorative dot on the right and left. Coin with coloured elements.
