VERITAS NUMISMA SERIES – ENDURING LATIN MAXIMS – CARPE DIEM

Carpe Diem – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Veritas Numisma Series

Description:

Seize the day with the Carpe Diem copper round from our Veritas Numisma Series — a collection dedicated to enduring Latin maxims. Translating to “Seize the Day,” this classic exhortation reminds us to embrace the present with boldness and purpose, making the most of every fleeting moment.

Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and features a striking skeletal rider charging forward on horseback, wielding a flail in a dynamic display of action and urgency. Encircling the scene is the inscription “Carpe Diem,” reinforcing the message to grasp life’s opportunities before they pass. The reverse presents the series’ common motif — a skeletal philosopher robed in classical attire, holding a burning torch beneath the Veritas Numisma banner and the phrase “Enduring Latin Maxims.”

The Maxim:
Popularized by Roman poet Horace, Carpe Diem encourages living life with intent and vitality, aware that time is precious and fleeting. The skeletal rider serves as a memento mori — a reminder of mortality — urging us not to waste the time we are given.
