Front: "Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Temperance"
Back: "Summum Bonum" Latin for "the highest or ultimate good "
The Stoic Virtues Coin is a tribute to the ethical heart of Stoic philosophy - four virtues that were not just admired, but actively lived by the greatest minds of antiquity: Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Temperance. These were the compass points by which a Stoic navigated the world, not depending on external success or public praise, but on inner alignment with what is right.
Wisdom teaches us to discern what matters. Justice demands that we act fairly and serve the common good. Courage urges us to face hardship without complaint. And Temperance reminds us to master desire and ego. Together, they form the unshakable foundation of a resilient, honourable life.
Engraved at the center is the Stoic flame - a symbol of the rational soul, steady and luminous even amid life’s storms. On the reverse, the Latin phrase Summum Bonum reminds us of the Stoic belief that virtue is the highest good. Nothing external, not fame, fortune, or even health can compare to the value of a virtuous life lived in harmony with reason and nature.
This coin doesn’t just symbolize philosophy, it is a quiet commitment. A compact mirror that asks, day after day: Am I being wise? Am I acting justly? Am I brave? Am I measured? It’s a tool for self-inquiry and a shield against compromise. In a world full of noise, it calls you back to what truly matters.
