This coin is a catalyst for better life.

Imprinted with “memento mori,” Latin for “remember death,” it serves as a pocketable reminder that you will one day die.

For thousands of years — cross-culturally, from Stoics to Buddhists to Christians — people have contemplated death with varying uses, but for the ultimate purpose of living a better life.

Today, we can do the same.

Weighing a perfect 1oz, this pure copper coin is light enough to carry in your pocket, yet heavy enough that you won't forget its there. Across time, it will age to look like mine (seen in the last photo).

Boldly imprinted with “memento mori,” a laughing skeleton, four hourglasses, and an owl (which sees the light in night's darkest hour), it’s a perfect, pocketable reminder to hold you close to all of death's unsung extraordinary benefits.

The coin is packaged and shipped by yours truly in a burlap pouch with a note introducing the practice to its recipient.
