Born from a giant peach found floating down a river in answer to the prayers of childless, elderly parents, the mythical hero Momotaro is a vibrant part of Japanese culture whose story has inspired countless generations since it was first written down in the early 17th century. With his animal companions by his side, the brave young hero was destined to free his village from the scourge of the monstrous Oni — which translates to “ogre” or “demon” — who had oppressed and stolen from the people for centuries. His quest brought him into a climactic face-to-face confrontation with Onitaiji, the Chief of the Oni, whom he wrestled into submission to reclaim years’ worth of stolen wealth. The 2020 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Anime Coin celebrates his triumph with anime-style engraving in pure silver.
Coin Highlights:
Anime has its roots in manga, the combining of art with words to tell a story. The first manga dates back centuries, and it became a mainstream popular art form after Word War II both on the page and on the screen in the form of animated cartoons or anime. It’s through animation that modern generations of children would have their first encounter with the legendary hero Momotaro, whose tale had already been popular for centuries and who found a whole new lease on life in this modern milieu. Now, in the style of anime artwork, the Legends of Japan collection celebrates the iconic hero’s ultimate triumph.
The 2020 Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Anime Coin showcases high-relief engraved artwork and an antiqued finish. It ships secured in a plastic capsule, fully insured by the team at JM Bullion.
The obverse side features Samoa’s coat of arms, along with inscriptions verifying its weight and silver contents and the year and country of issue. The design is surrounded by an intricate decorative border.
That border design appears on the reverse side, overlapped by a dynamic anime-style image of Momotaro waving a banner with a peach symbol and Japanese writing, standing atop the vanquished Chief of the Oni. Radiating rays in the background complete the design.
