One of the most enduring folktales in Japanese culture is the story of Momotaro. First written down in the Edo Period, it is the tale of a hero with colorfully supernatural origins who brings peace to his land with the aid of a cast of animal companions. Momotaro grows up in a village oppressed by the aggression of the Oni, a word that translates to “demon” or “ogre.” He finally goes on a quest to free his home from this violence, and with the aid of his friends finally manages to confront the Chief Oni, breaking one of his horns to secure lasting peace for his people. This moment is commemorated by Legends of Japan Momotaro coin series, including the 2020 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Ukiyoe Coin.
Coin Highlights:
The prosperous Edo period in Japanese history spanned the 17th to the 19th centuries and led to many new cultural developments, including the ukiyo-e school of painting and woodblock printing. Based on the compositional principles of classical Chinese painting, but with a distinctively colorful and dynamic style and choice of subject matter, the rise of ukiyo-e happened alongside the rise of the folktale of Momotaro as a form of written literature. The character and his legend, one of the most distinctive creations of Japanese culture, make a perfect subject for a silver collectible engraved in a style contemporary with his rise to prominence.
The 2020 Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Ukiyoe Coin is that collectible, featuring high-relief engravings brought out beautifully by its antique finish. It ships secured in a plastic capsule, and each shipment is fully ensured by JM Bullion against loss or damage.
The coin’s 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 whole is surrounded by a decorative border.
The same decorative border appears on the reverse side, which features an image of Momotaro subduing an Oni, rendered in the dramatic ukiyo-e style with a backdrop of radiating rays.
