Memento Mori Iron Coin - Memento Vivere Reminder Token

Sale price$28.90

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.

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.

Momento Mori

What a cool unique item. Got it for my wife as part of our "iron" anniversary. She's a HUGE Disney/Haunted Mansion fan so there was a bit of special hidden meaning behind this. I was also really excited to learn this was out of Arkansas! I had no idea until I placed the order. Buy local!

Thank you so much Adam! We have a mini museum, gardens, and a gift shop where we make the coins right here in West Fork - come visit us!
