Tempus Fugit-Time Flies-Fine Copper Ultra High Relief Round/Pendant

Time flies — an undeniable truth captured in the Tempus Fugit copper round, an evocative addition which honors the lasting relevance of Latin maxims. Translating to “Time Flies,” this phrase serves as a sobering reminder of the swift passage of time and the importance of making every moment count. Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and features a richly detailed design: a melting human skull with wings, symbolizing time’s fleeting nature, positioned above an hourglass with sand steadily draining away. A background clock face and intricate filigree embellishments frame the composition, while the phrase “Tempus Fugit” scrolls across the lower edge. The Maxim: “Tempus Fugit” originated in classical literature but gained widespread cultural resonance as a reminder that time, once passed, cannot be reclaimed. The melting wax, winged skull, and hourglass all illustrate the relentless, unstoppable nature of time’s march — urging us to seize the present before it vanishes.
