When you purchase a 1 oz Silver Memento Mori Round in this Provident Metals listing, you will receive a beautiful specimen that is individually packaged in a protective plastic capsule. These rounds were produced with proof-like visuals that include frosted design elements above mirrored background fields. In this distinctive release, the entire field of the obverse and reverse have been plated in a thin layer of 24-karat gold for a unique visual finish.

Obverse

A skeleton is depicted with a grin on its face in the obverse design of the 1 oz Silver Memento Mori Round. This skeleton is laughing at you for it knows the reality that there is no escape from death. You may cheat death for a moment, but he will exact his toll on you in the end. Around the edge of the design element are images of three additional skulls, with the skull at the top backed by crossbones. There are four hourglasses around the side as well in a nod to the limited time we all have in this world. The bottom of the design element comes with an inscription of Memento Mori.

Reverse

The Anonymous Mint logo features on the reverse field of Silver Memento Mori Rounds. The logo of the mint is a clever riff on the heraldic eagle of the United States. The powerful eagle has been replaced by a wise owl that has a crown with the A.M. initials of the mint. Above the crown of the owl is a cluster of 13 stars arranged in descending rows of six, four, and three stars, respectively. Next to the owl is an inscription of 1 Ounce .999 Fine Silver. The bottom of the design element has the name Anonymous Mint inscribed with a beaded element flanking both sides of the design.

History

The phrase memento mori dates back to Classical Antiquity and has played a role in human civilization through the period of early Christianity, to the Medieval Era and the Victorian Era in Europe.
