Front Inscription: “Nosce Te Ipsum” (Know Thyself)
Back Inscription: “Knowing thyself is the beginning of all wisdom”
🧠 The Philosophy Behind the Know Thyself Coin
The Know Thyself Coin embodies one of the oldest and most profound teachings in philosophy: true wisdom begins with self-knowledge. First inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and later embraced by Socrates, “Nosce Te Ipsum” is a call to look inward before seeking to master the world.
The design captures this duality: two mirrored faces, representing the inner dialogue of the self, and the wise owl of Athena, symbol of clarity, reflection, and truth. Together, they remind us that the greatest journeys are not across seas or mountains but within our own hearts and minds.
In daily life, this Stoic philosophy coin is a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and ask: Am I living in alignment with who I truly am? It urges us to strip away illusions, question our motives, and cultivate honesty with ourselves. To know oneself is not an endpoint, it is a lifelong discipline, and the key to strength, clarity, and freedom.
This EDC motivational coin is not just for collectors - it is a mirror in metal. Keep it close as an anchor for introspection or gift it to someone on a path of growth and self-discovery.
