Obverse

A skull rendition is contained on the obverse of 2023 Memento Mori Silver Rounds. This is quite fitting given the fact that the human skull is a prominent symbol for Memento Mori. Enhancing the aesthetic value of the design are numerous flourishes along the edges, also related to the theme of death. Some of these include a burned candlestick, an hourglass, and a smaller skull adorned with a crown and the wings of good and evil. You will also find inscribed along the rim the words MEMENTO MORI.

Reverse

The Intaglio Mint logo features on the reverse side of these Memento Mori 1 oz Silver Rounds. In the center of the design, there is a Roman column with its ends curved to form the letter I. The reverse also contains concentric circle patterns and inscriptions reading INTAGLIO MINT, EST. 2010, ONE TROY OUNCE, .999 FINE SILVER, 2023.

History

According to some accounts, the phrase Memento Mori dates back to ancient Rome. After a successful war, a general returned home, gloating over of his accomplishments. He paraded around town on his horse, proclaiming his glorious achievements with excessive pride. At that moment, a slave approached the conceited general and spoke the words Memento Mori. To this day, these words remind us all that we ought to live humbly since ultimately we all are destined for the grave.
