1 oz Memento Mori Silver Round

“Memento Mori” is an ancient expression used to say humans are mortals, life is short, and we should do our best to enjoy the time left.

With a unique design full of meaningful intricate details, this silver round is a fabulous acquisition for any precious metals collection.

Silver rounds may also interest investors who want to add physical silver bullion to their investment portfolios. Because they are a private product, silver rounds hold neither monetary denomination nor legal tender, which compared to sovereign silver coins, tend to offer better shopping conditions.

Having a 1 oz Memento Mori Silver Round in both, a collection, and an investment portfolio, may be an exciting way to accumulate valuable silver pieces engraved with an awe-inspiring motif.

The Design

The reverse design is a standard to Intaglio Mint’s rounds. They all showcase the company's logo in the spotlight, with the round’s weight, metal content, purity, and year of issuance engraved on the outer rim.

The obverse design is a symbolic meaning of the phrase “MEMENTO MORI,” engraved on the outer rim. 

The central image is a skull surrounded by a wreath of flowers. Significant items appear in key positions to emphasize the message. There is a crowned mini-skull with wings of good and evil on top, other skulls flanking the bigger-central one, an hourglass on the bottom, a dice showing a roll of 7, a snail, and a flower spread over the wreath.

The story behind “Memento Mori”

According to the legend, in ancient Rome, a successful general returned home after victory in an important battle. He received accolades, compliments, and congratulations. He let these go to his head and became very arrogant. The phrase “Memento mori” was uttered by an unnoticed slave who was only heard by his master. 

That phrase translates to “Remember that you too will die,” and is a call to action. It reminds us of our mortality and the importance of striving towards doing our best while alive in this world, but remembering we are no better than anyone else.
