Omnia Vanitas Coin
Description
The Omnia Vanitas Coin offers a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life, serving as a profound everyday carry coin for those who seek to live with purpose and clarity. This EDC Reminder Coin embodies the Stoic practice of memento mori, encouraging a daily awareness of mortality as a guide for leading a meaningful life.
One side of the coin is inscribed with the Latin phrase "In morte ultima veritas, vincit veritas in omni re," which translates to "In death, the ultimate truth, truth prevails in everything." This statement is accompanied by the image of a skull, a symbol that has long represented the finality and truth of death. The imagery and words together urge reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of focusing on enduring values.
The reverse side of the coin carries the stark reminders "Only death is true" and "Omnia Vanitas," which means "All is vanity." The symbols of a crow and a cobra, both associated with death and transformation, flank a lit candle that signifies the fleeting nature of life. As the candle burns down, it symbolizes the passage of time, reminding us that life’s moments are precious and should be lived with intention and virtue.
The Omnia Vanitas Coin acts as a daily reminder coin, designed to keep the Stoic teachings close to heart, encouraging mindfulness of life’s impermanence. It’s a meaningful token for those who seek to reflect on the deeper truths of existence, making it an excellent gift for yourself or someone who appreciates the wisdom of Stoic philosophy.
