Memento Mori / Memento Vivere Reminder Coin

Solid Copper Coin

There is a long history of Memento Mori reminders, including coins. We have added our own spin on the concept and included a new reverse side, “Memento Vivere” which translates to “remember that you have to live.” We believe there is a beautiful balance between accepting mortality and embracing life.

Memento mori (Latin: "Remember that you have to die.") is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality. Especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.

Memento vivere (Latin: "Remember you have to live.") Know that your time is short in the grand scheme of things. So have fun while you are here.

Excellent coins

I saw the shop on Tik Tok and was interested in buy some, upon receiving them, they’re even better than I could have hoped!

Great product

This product was exactly what I was expecting and arrived very quickly. Solid product for the price I have other similar items of lesser quality but they do great work here. I will be puechasing other coins from only here

Thanks for the review! Very glad that our attention to detail paid off

Really Unique Piece

As soon as I saw this, it caught my eye. Craftsmanship is wonderful.

Mint

Cool because it’s different. Octagonal shape, the copper one is has great contrast and looks great and goes well with a leather wallet and micarta handled knives if you do the whole edc get up. Otherwise it’s a great talking piece and fidget object
