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. The silver pendant is 1/2 Troy ounce or 16 grams of bullion grade pure silver on a 30" gunmetal neckchain. It is stamped on the bottom edge with (999 FS) meaning (99.9% Fine Silver). © Shire Post Mint. All rights reserved.
