What's this?

Hey, y'all!

I found a Monacoin design while surfing the web. Actually, they are two different designs from the same year (2014). See for yourself below...









Any info on these coins? Who is the creator and how many coins were minted? And where I can buy them?


Thanks.

Peace, yo.

Monacoin is a very old altcoin (according their website has been created in Japan in 2014). I remember the name because "mona" is like an offense in north-east Italy

Ok geography apart, if I am not mistaken, these have been minted by https://sakamt.co.jp/ SAKAMOTO Co., Ltd no idea about how many minted but in some sites show the "sold out" label.
Other similar seems still available in https://store.medals.tokyo/items/41949494 they call this as "medals" and not coin however made in pure silver...
thanks for sharing, their products are somewhat inspiring

Damn. It does not seem they ship outside of Japan (international). I am US-based, so I guess I am out of luck. Those Monacoins look sick. The pure silver one looks interesting, though.

@Haliburton
there are some services that receive shipments in Japan and they will sent out to your country.
However these are not cheap or convenient (and I don't know if they accept also item made with metal etc etc...)
generally, I have seen really higher postage fees from Japan to other countries and if you add the expense of the service itself, it doesn't really worth, unless you're buying large quantities....

If you are interested, I should go there in a few months (during the summer/ February 2026). In case I can help you to buy some of these and then reshipping from Italy.
Just let me know, reply here or send a private message.

I've bought a Monacoin watch before from Amazon Japan. You can still buy that. Think I have some coins too somewhere, no idea how I bought them, probably from Minerjones

More than likely...

There is also a smaller 1/2oz ? silver Monacoin that was made that came in a small display slab/box.... got to see if I can dig that out
For now, enjoy these

Sick. I assume those are pure silver and gold rounds? Or are they just plated?
