Our story
A place where memories are kept.
That is what Memorium means to us: somewhere your best days live, the way a library keeps books.
Why we make them
The year goes by, and the pictures stay on the phone.
Most of us have thousands of photographs and almost never look at them. The good days are in there somewhere, between the receipts and the screenshots.
We wanted a way to take the few that matter out of the phone and give them weight. A coin does that. It is small enough to hold and solid enough to keep, and it does not need charging, an account, or a password.
One coin is a keepsake. A row of them, added to over years, is a family's story that someone can pick up and read with their hands.
What we hold to
Five things we will not compromise.
Real
Real moments from your own photographs. Never stock pictures, never staged.
Premium
Solid brass, engraved one coin at a time, finished by hand.
Timeless
A round coin, a few words, wood and linen. Nothing that will look dated.
Collectible
Every memory adds a coin. There is always room for the next one.
A legacy
Made to be kept, and then to be given to someone who comes after.
How they are made
It starts as a disc of solid brass.
Your photograph is engraved into the metal in shallow relief. The coin is then darkened, so the picture reads, and polished by hand, so the high points shine.
No two are alike, because no two photographs are.
A note on the pictures here
We would rather show you less than promise too much.
Memorium has not opened yet. The coins, frames and boxes on this site are design previews that show what we are making. As the first collections are finished, photographs of the real coins will take their place.
