The meaning

Post fata resurgo means “after death I rise again.” It comes from the old story of the phoenix, the bird that burns and returns from its own ashes. The back adds the part people forget: rising again is a decision, and strength is a choice you make each morning.

On good days and hard days

• On good days, it celebrates how far you have come since you started over.
• On hard days, when you are in the ashes of something that ended, it reminds you that you can rise again, and that strength is a choice you make each morning.

Why a key tag

A coin can stay in a drawer. Keys can't. This tag goes wherever you go and you see it every time you lock a door or start the car, which makes it a good fit for new keys after a move or a fresh start. It carries the same artwork as the Phoenix Coin: the phoenix rising with wings spread from the flames on the front, and a sword through a banner reading “Strength is a choice” on the back.

Give it

It is our go to fresh start gift: for someone rebuilding after a divorce, a job loss, an illness or a hard year, or for anyone getting new keys after a move. It says you believe they will rise again.

Questions

What does post fata resurgo mean?
Latin for “after death I rise again.” It is linked to the phoenix and is used as a motto for coming back after a loss.

What is a good gift for someone starting over?
Something for the new keys. This tag reminds them every day that strength is a choice and that they can rise again.

Is it the same design as the Phoenix 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.
