It’s time we stop pretending otherwise.Įach coin is shipped in a custom-designed box with an accompanying information card, explaining the practice to anyone receiving the coin. The coin acts as a reminder to not obsess over trivialities, or trying to become famous, make more money than we could ever spend, or make plans far off in the future. The front features an interpretation of de Champaigne’s 17th century painting and the back shows a shortened version of Aurelius’s timeless wisdom. Westman’s advice was “Carry this in your pocket or purse and when temptation is great, reach into your pocket and feel the medallion and remember your struggle to get this far.” Westman wanted to create something to leave with people he interacted with in recovery groups and to mark their achievements in sobriety, to remind them of the messages of AA and help keep them on their road to recovery. The original painting is part of a genre referred to as Vanitas, a form of 17th century artwork featuring symbols of mortality which encourage reflection on the meaning and fleetingness of life.Įach coin is handcrafted in the United States by a custom mint operating in Minnesota since 1882-the same mint where the iconic AA anniversary medallions were created in 1973 by Bill Westman, an employee. The French painter Philippe de Champaigne expressed a similar sentiment in his painting " Still Life with a Skull," which showed the three essentials of existence: the tulip (life), the skull (death), and the hourglass (time). Let that determine what you do and say and think.” That was a personal reminder to continue living a life of virtue NOW, and not wait. In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius wrote “You could leave life right now. These coins are designed with the intention of carrying them in your pocket, a literal and inescapable reminder that “you could leave life right now.”
Presented by Julie Lindquist, Coin Creator, in conjunction with the Anonymous Mint.Daily Stoic is excited to share the Memento Mori medallion. During medieval times, it was fabled that owls were actually priestesses or wizards in disguise. Owl has been known as ruler of the night, seer of souls, and keeper of spirits that had passed from one plane to another. In ancient symbolism, the owl represented guardianship of the underworld and protection of the dead. Owl represents wisdom, intelligence, mystery, transition, secrets and protection. Death's last laugh at debt.Ĭoin Reverse - The Anonymous Mint graciously crowns the OWL as its reverse logo. This type of funeral art was popular in medieval times through the Victorian era and serves to remind one of their own mortality. The Last Laugh is depicted with laughing dead man, skulls, hourglasses and reaping blades. Death respects no one and comes on quickly. A reminder to all mortals that time is fleeting and every minute counts.
