The meaning
Familia ante omnia is Latin for family before everything. Around it runs an old proverb: when the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind. The back is for every family that isn't perfect, which is all of them: we may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
On good days and hard days
- On good days, it reminds you who you do it all for and makes the good times with family count.
- On hard days, when storms hit the family, it reminds you that deep roots hold. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
Why a key tag
House keys are the most family object there is. This tag is a natural gift with the keys to a new home, or for a son or daughter heading off with keys of their own. It carries the same artwork as the Family Coin: a tree of life with a braided trunk and deep roots on the front, and an interlaced knot at the center of a sunburst on the back.
Give it
It is a warm gift for Father's Day or Mother's Day, a housewarming, a new driver in the family, or a son or daughter leaving for college. Give one to each family member so everyone carries the same reminder.
Specs
- Diameter: 1.54 in (39 mm)
- Thickness: 2.7 mm
- Weight: about 1 oz (28 g)
- Material: brass alloy, Antique Bronze finish
- Made: die struck, minted in the USA
- Each key tag is antiqued with a special patina so it looks like it has already been in circulation. The patina never settles the same way twice, so no two key tags look exactly alike. Small variations in color and shading are normal, and they are what make yours one of a kind.
- Key ring included
Questions
What does familia ante omnia mean?
“Family before everything.” Family comes first.
Is it a good housewarming gift?
Yes. It goes straight onto the new house keys and says family comes first.
Is it the same design as the Family Coin?
Yes, the artwork is the same on both sides. The key tag simply adds a loop so it can hang from your keys.
Will my key tag look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but never identical. Each key tag is antiqued with a special patina that settles differently every time, so small variations in color and shading from the photos are normal. They are what make yours one of a kind.

Care: keep it dry and wipe it with a soft cloth. No polishing needed; the aged finish is part of the look.
