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″ steel plated neckchain. It is stamped on the bottom edge with (999 FS) meaning (99.9% Fine Silver) The product is treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two are exactly the same! Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. Shire Post Mint. All rights reserved.

Gorgeous!!
I love this necklace so much! Itâs beautifully crafted. Itâs solid, not heavy, but itâs definitely well made! Would buy again!!

Exceptional quality, awesome customer service
Absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is truly superior to any âtrinketâ you might find for cheaper. I wonât go into detail on how these are made, but the process shines through in the finished product. I ordered this Memento Mori coin necklace and due to postal errors, it was returned to sender after making it all the way to my mailbox. I contacted the seller and they were immediately responsive and offered to ship the item again at no charge. This sort of customer service is hard to come by, and itâs nice to see that the coins arenât the only thing old fashioned. I truly love the necklace. It is somewhat heavy (.999 fine silver), and the weight serves as a gentle reminder that it is there. The chain is pretty basic and a nice bonus, but I wasnât ordering it for the chain. Overall, if youâre on the fence about paying a little more for a conversation starting necklace, just buy this one. After you get it, youâll be looking to see what else they have for sale as I am!

Never been so drawn to a coin.
This has not left my neck since i purchased it. I did have to makeshift my own necklace to secure the coin but overall its a masterpiece in design. I’ve had this on for several months now and i always find myself running my hands over the texture and design. For any collectors or anyone that wants to sport something with superb quality, this is the product for you.

One of a kind items.
This is not my first purchase from shirepostmint. I had bought from them elsewhere. When I came across them here on Amazon I couldn’t help but grab 2 of these works of art. I WHOLE heartedly recommend that if you see something they have and you like it. You will love it more once it’s in your hand. The items are so well made no junk or gimmicks with these guys all pride all skill. So please buy if you can to keep craftsman like them alive and making great items rather than wasting away not using thier talent. Shire post thank you. I now have my daily carry lucky mad Sweeny coin, 2 of these silver pendants and my 1.5″ 2oz moon coin I got directly from you since i couldn’t find that one here should arrive soon. Thanks as always for amazing work.

Love the pendant but the chain is cheap and tarnishes
Love this product. We keep purchasing it bc we like it that much, but wish the chain was better metal. It tarnishes or breaks. Would be 5 star review if it had a better chain

Beautiful pure silver Memento coin necklace with a moto to live by!
Shire Post Mint hand struck this 16 gram gorgeous .999 pure silver octagonal coin featuring artwork by Michael Shanta depicting a skull with the Latin phrase, “Memento Mori” on one side and “Memento Vivere” on the other side. These Latin phrases say remember that you have to die and you have to live, which are simple but powerful words to live by each day. Sometimes the journey is painful and the process is demanding, but you only have one life to live so live it to the fullest with the tools you have! My new favorite everyday necklace, it also works as a great conversation starter.
