Pecunia Non Olet – 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Veritas Numisma Series
Description:
Money doesn’t stink. Pecunia Non Olet — a phrase born of imperial Rome — reminds us that wealth carries no inherent shame, no matter its source. Now captured in the Veritas Numisma Series, this cynical but enduring truth is struck in radiant .999 fine silver.
This 1 troy ounce, 39mm silver round presents a decadent and unsettling obverse: a skeletal tycoon lounges on an ornate throne, draped in finery, surrounded by stacks of cash. His gaunt grin is undisturbed as he sniffs a bundle of bills with delight. The inscription Pecunia Non Olet arcs above him — a smirk from history itself. The reverse features the Veritas Numisma signature image: a robed skeletal philosopher holding a torch, beneath the words “Enduring Latin Maxims.”
The Maxim:
“Pecunia Non Olet” translates to “Money does not stink.” Attributed to Emperor Vespasian, who imposed a tax on public urinals, the phrase dismisses any moral questioning of money’s origins. It implies that currency, once in hand, is clean — regardless of how it was earned. It’s a maxim for realists, profiteers, and those who understand the true odor of power.
