HIGHLIGHTS: REAL SAND HOURGLASS INLAY:: HAND MADE ANTIQUE FINISH :: HIGH RELIEF :: RIMLESS :: SERIAL NUMBER ENGRAVED. Dear collector and investor. We are very proud to offer you a new issue of Art Mints products with the new “CARPE DIEM” coin. Originally designed in hand made plaster model the coin has a high sculptural relief, that deepens the impression of the Grim Reaper uprising as a reminder to “seize your days” (CARPE DIEM)! The cracked effect and a beautiful antique finish gives a sense that you are holding a piece of history in your own hands. Nevertheless, the real sand hourglass are indeed counting the time left! On the obverse side of the coin, you can see Her Majesty the Queen Elisabeth II, face value, date and external ornament ring designed in the same monumental manner. The coin comes in an highly elegant case, along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage of only 500 pcs worldwide! Limited to 500 coins worldwide. Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated “seize the day”, taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace’s work Odes (23 BC). Perhaps the first written expression of the concept is the advice given by Siduri to Gilgamesh, telling him to forgo his mourning and embrace life although some scholars see it as simply urging Gilgamesh to abandon his mourning, reversing the liminal rituals of mourning and returning to the normal and normative behaviors of Mesopotamian society. In Horace, the phrase is part of the longer carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero, which can be translated as “Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow (the future)”. The ode says that the future is unforeseen and that one should not leave to chance future happenings, but rather one should do all one can today to make one’s future better. This phrase is usually understood against Horace’s Epicurean background. The meaning of carpe diem as used by Horace is not to ignore the future, but rather not to trust that everything is going to fall into place for you and taking action for the future today. Related but distinct is the expression memento mori (remember that you are mortal) which carries some of the same connotation as carpe diem. For Horace, mindfulness of our own mortality is key in making us realize the importance of the moment. Remember that you are mortal, so seize the day. In modern English, the expression “YOLO”, meaning “you only live once”, expresses a similar sentiment. In the 1989 American film Dead Poets Society, the English teacher John Keating, played by Robin Williams, famously says: Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary. Later, this line was voted as the 95th greatest movie quote by the American Film Institute. Coins for investors and collectors.

THE FIRST COIN WITH 3D EFFECT – IT COMES WITH 3D GLASSES! At the WMF 2015 in Berlin ART MINT presented a revolutionary visual effect which was used on a coin for the first time. The 1oz fine silver proof coin introduces the “Chromadepth 3D” technique, which is brand new in the numismatic world. The coins are strictly limited to only 699 pieces worldwide and consist of many different depths creating an amazing and clear three dimension effect! Special packaging has been designed for the magnificent Choromadepth 3D issue. It comes with a special 3D glass and original Certificate of authenticity. This amazing coin features a coloured artistic work printed with Chromadepth 3D technology. The coins reverse side shows the nominal value, an image of the Queen Elizabeth II with the inscription’Elizabeth II’, the name of the issuer,’Niue Island’ and the year of issue, 2015. Limited to 699 coins worldwide. Yes (Included 3D Glasses). ChromaDepth 3D is a patented system that produces a stereoscopic effect based upon differences in the diffraction of color through a special prism-like holographic film fitted into the glasses. ChromDepth 3D glasses purposely exacerbate chromatic aberration and give the illusion of colors taking up different positions in space, with red being in front, and blue being in back. This works particularly well with the sky, sea or grass as a background, and red objects in the foreground. With our ChromaDepth 3D glasses, any media piece can be given a 3D effect as long as the color spectrum is put into use with the foreground being in red, and the background dark. From front to back, the scheme follows the visible light spectrum, from red to orange, yellow, green and blue. As a result, ChromaDepth 3D works best with artificially produced or enhanced pictures, since the color indicates the depth. ChromaDepth 3D contains depth information in one image, which eliminates the ghosting seen in other schemes when one attempts to view them without 3D glasses. Thus, ChromaDepth images can be viewed comfortably and legibly without glasses, even though the 3D effect will not be perceivable without them. Please read the discriptions carefully. Grading can be subjetive so please look at the image provided. All sales are final! Coins for investors and collectors. 00 33- 6 98 15 52 84.
