Each culture around the world has its own views on death and the afterlife. Many ancient societies believed that when we departed this world, we were headed for an afterlife in which we may want to bring some of our Earthly possessions. For the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, an army of 8,000 warriors accompanied him into the afterlife. Those warriors are the inspiration for a beautiful antique coin series from the Reserve Bank of Fiji and the Scottsdale Mint.
