Memento Mori Iron Coin - Memento Vivere Reminder Token

Sale price$20.00

Remember...

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.

  • Solid Iron coin
  • 1" (2.5 cm) diameter
  • 1/2 ounce, or 15 grams of solid 99.9% iron

A Coin To Remember Them By

A coin to remember them by, a coin on the altar, a coin of such craftsmanship, a coin that will never falter.

Unique little reminder to value each day

Beautiful little coin. I carry it with me most days and enjoy having it as a reminder, as well as something to fiddle with when bored or anxious about something.

Unfortunately lost it during a trip but it was good quality, looks amazing, was a bit smaller then I expected but that’s my fault for not looking at the size specs but even then the quality was amazing
