Familia Ante Omnia

Family before everything.

Not as a rule, as a choice: the call you make, the time you give, the people you keep coming back to.

Around the tree

When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.

Distance, busy years, hard news. The wind always comes. What you planted together is what holds.

The back

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

No family is perfect, and it does not need to be. It needs people who stay, talk, forgive and show up again.

Familia Ante Omnia

It begins with something small.

A seed, a first word, a hand held. Family starts with someone who stays, so you can grow.

The open hand

Then it grows into a hand.

Branches that open like a hand. Support becomes real when someone offers it.

The deep roots

Everything we give each other grows downward first.

A call home. A story told again. A place kept at the table. No one sees the roots, but they hold everything.

In flower

Time passes, and love given early comes back in flower.

The braided trunk

New hands take hold.

Each person adds something of their own. Together they become the trunk.

The Family Coin

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Everything you just watched, in your pocket.

Roots that connect us

Home can begin with one simple question.

“Did you get there safely?” A familiar voice, a place at the table, a story told again. Family takes shape through gestures like these: the time we give, the stories we share, the attention with which we learn to be there for one another.

Each person adds something of their own to this bond. Patience, humor, experience, support, or the joy of bringing people together.

Closeness grows through the gestures we return to.Familia Ante Omnia

Call. Listen. Say thank you.

Roots and branches. The roots evoke the stories, values and experiences that have shaped us. Some are passed on through words. Others we learn by watching how someone cares, works, owns a mistake or welcomes guests. The branches suggest the different paths we follow. Each person grows in their own way, and a bond that is cared for gives both support and the freedom to grow.

Together we have it all. The words on the back leave room for the ordinary reality of family life: different temperaments, busy days, changing plans, and things we are still learning to do better. Closeness shows in the willingness to talk, to repair a misunderstanding, and to respect what each person needs.

Close, even across distance. Life can take us to different cities and new beginnings. The connection continues through a call, a photograph, a tradition kept, or a message that says: I was thinking of you. For some, family means the people they grew up with. For others, it also includes bonds built over time through love, trust and care.

Our roots connect us to a story. Our care carries it forward.

About this coin

Front: a tree with deep roots and a braided trunk that opens like a hand, with FAMILIA ANTE OMNIA, Latin for “family before everything,” and around it “When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.” Back: an interlaced knot at the center of a sunburst, inside a ring of laurel, with “We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.”

The roots stand for the stories and values that shaped us, the branches for the different paths each person follows, and the hand for support that becomes real when someone offers it.

How to use it

Keep it in your pocket or on your desk. When you touch it, turn the feeling into a gesture: call, listen, say thank you, or make time to be together.

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. Families with deep roots still get storms. They just don't get pulled up by them.

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.

The design

The front shows a tree of life whose braided trunk opens at the top like a hand, its roots spreading deep into the ground. The back is an interlaced knot, a loop with no beginning and no end, at the center of a sunburst.

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.

Carry it

It is a pocket reminder of who you do it all for. One family uses them as challenge coins at home: the kids get one when they reach a big goal or push through something hard.

Give it

Customers give it to military husbands, to each other for anniversaries, and to the whole family at Christmas; one wrote that everyone loved theirs. For a reunion, one coin each is a small keepsake that goes home in every pocket. It is also a good send off for a son or daughter moving away.

Specs

  • Diameter: 1.54 in (39 mm), about the size of a silver dollar
  • Thickness: 2.7 mm
  • Weight: about 1 oz (28 g)
  • Material: brass alloy (Antique Silver, Antique Bronze) or solid copper (Antique Copper)
  • Made: die struck, minted in the USA
  • Each coin 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 coins look exactly alike. Small variations in color and shading are normal, and they are what make your coin one of a kind.
