Intaglio Mint 2-oz Silver Morte Prima Di Disonore Round BU

A Vivid Illustration of Death Before Dishonor

From the Legions of Rome marching to do battle with enemies of the Empire to Japanese samurai warriors risking all to defend their emperor, the phrase of “Death Before Dishonor” has been a rallying cry for troops in all walks of life as they prepared for battle. For the early Romans, the phrase was Morte Prima Di Disonore and that’s the inscription that appears on this motivational piece that belongs in the pockets of everyone who faithfully serves his or her country or has a son or daughter serving in the nation’s armed forces.

A Death-Defying Design Dedicated to Military Honor

Struck by the Intaglio Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver, this collectible round features a death-defying design that shows a skeletal skull still wearing a plumed Roman helmet. A short-bladed sword is buried to the hilt in the back of the helmet and protrudes through the gaping mouth of the skull’s jaw. Below the image is the inscription MORTE PRIMA DI DISONORE. On the other side of the round is an ominous-looking winged skull impaled by three curved swords above a ribbon that reads DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR. The ribbon is reminiscent of the tattoos worn by soldiers — the slogan frequently written in a coiling scroll wrapped around a dagger inked into the arms of soldiers as a way of showing their dedication to their buddies, their unit and their country.
