STOIC STORE UK Memento Mori Coin Stoic, Momento Mori Coin - Double Sided 38mm Stoic Coin - Daily Inspirational Coins for Stoicism Gifts, Stoic Challenge - Novelty Coins, Tokens, Medallions

I was introduced to the Stoic philosophy a couple of years ago by a business associate and it has really transformed my life. In addition to my daily reading and journaling I was looking for something to constantly remind me of how I want my mind to focus on the moment to keep me from living in the past or worrying about the future. This coin has done just that! The first day I had it in my pocket someone commented on what a cool coin it was, which allowed me to share and introduce them to the philosophy. This coin is high quality, eye-catching and a perfect way to remind me of what I need to focus on daily.

Well made. I would like a few of them but they are a bit pricey.

This coin is perfect for your pocket, to have a constant reminder to be mindful of your actions and thoughts as the day passes. This definitely should help those who are aiming to become Stoic in their lives.

Good weight, cant tell what its plated with, only time will tell how much wears off. Overall happy with purchase.

This is a great coin to carry every day in our pocket or purse to remind us that we could leave life at any time whether we have already lived a long life, are just getting started or somewhere in between. It comes with a plastic capsule protecting the coin from wear and tear that can be easily removed and be reused over and over again. To me the coin feels solid and well-constructed. It should last a lifetime. The brass with bronze plating of the coin looks elegant. Even better than the look and feel of the coin is the quote on the reverse side by Marcus Aurelius, a former Roman Emperor. Beyond the simple reminder that we wouldn’t want to leave life after doing, saying, or even thinking wrong of others before having the opportunity to say we are sorry, the quote reminds us of the only three things in life that we have total control over. That is what we think, the words we say and the actions we take. An important part of being a practicing stoic is to not surrender these powers to others. Even others having different philosophies or religions can also benefit from this way of thinking. When we give others these powers, we may end up saying or doing harm to them by allowing our reaction to what they said or did to justify doing physical harm or saying harmful words to them. I highly recommend this medallion coin not only to practicing stoics but also to those who want to take back control over their lives.
