Part of the Legends of Japan collection and its Momotaro coin series, this beautiful pure silver collectible shows the legendary hero and his animal companions as samurai storming the beaches of Onigashima (“Demon Island”). It’s a key scene in the hero’s quest to liberate his homeland from the monsters’ piracy, which had stolen generations of wealth from his parents’ village. Momotaro, a child of divine will and boundless strength and courage, was destined to right these wrongs, and we see him and his friends begin the process on the 2021 Samoa Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Ukiyoe 1 oz Silver Coin.
Highlights:
The 2021 Samoa Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Anime Silver Coin features detailed engravings and comes in a secure plastic capsule. Each coin is fully insured against loss or damage by Provident Metals.
Obverse
The coin’s obverse side sports the official Samoan coat of arms to confirm it as legal tender. It’s accompanied by inscriptions confirming the coin’s weight, silver contents, and year and country of issue, surrounded by a decorative border.
Reverse
The reverse side of this coin features Momotaro and his friends storming the beach of Onigashima or Demon Island in samurai regalia. The scene overlaps a decorative border and features stylized waves in the foreground.
History
As was first taught to schoolchildren in Japan during the Meiji Era, Momotaro was a supernatural hero born by the will of the Gods from a giant peach, and was supernaturally strong even in his earliest years. As he reached adolescence and realized that his parents’ village was oppressed by marauding Oni, he took up the cause of defeating them, recruiting a group of animal companions on the way with a series of delicious millet dumplings. The hero has inspired generations of Japanese children, and this collectible pays tribute to the myth in theukiyo-eartistic style of the Edo Period when its first written form appeared.
