About this effect
Remember you will die; seize the day. The two oldest pieces of advice in Rome, one on each side of a heavy gold-tone coin: a hooded reaper under MEMENTO MORI, an hourglass under CARPE DIEM, both picked out in black enamel.
It arrives sealed in a clear display case, ready to stand on a desk or go in a pocket. A commemorative piece, not money and not gold.
Questions
What does memento mori mean?+
Latin for "remember you will die". Romans used it as a reminder to live well now, and carpe diem, on the back of this coin, means "seize the day".
Is it real gold or real money?+
Neither. It is a gold-tone commemorative coin with enamel detail. It copies no currency and claims no value.
How big is it?+
40 mm across and 3 mm thick. The clear display case is 59 × 84 mm.
How long does shipping take?+
Orders ship from our supplier overseas, and we don't quote a delivery date because we would be guessing. Tracking is emailed as soon as your parcel is dispatched. If you need it by a particular day, order well ahead. Orders of $75 or more ship free.
