The miraculous child who emerged from a peach, Momotaro is one of the most famous heroes of Japanese folklore and fairy tales. Living in a village oppressed by the piracy of the Oni (“demons” or “ogres”), Momotaro takes up a quest to rid the land of their evil, and with the aid of the best millet dumplings in the land, he recruits three animal companions to aid him. He finally triumphs by storming the enemy in their home at Onigashima and wrestling the Chief of the Oni into submission. This moment is depicted on the 2020 1 oz Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Ukiyoe Coin from the Legends of Japan collection, available to you from the team at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Momotaro’s legend was first written down in the early Edo Period of Japanese history, from the 17th to the 19th centuries. It was an era of prosperity and social transformation that also saw the rise of new artistic styles. This included the ukiyo-e school of painting and woodblock painting, which blended a bold, colorful, and dynamic style with the compositional principles of classical Chinese painting. The historically parallel nature of the fairy tale and the artistic form makes them a natural combination for the Momotaro series of collectible coins, celebrating one of the most popular Japanese folktales of all.
The 2020 Samoa Silver Momotaro and Demon Subdued in Ukiyoe Coin features detailed engraved artwork and comes secured in a protective plastic capsule. It ships fully insured against even the most remote possibility of loss or damage by the team at JM Bullion.
The coin’s obverse side features the official Samoan coat of arms to verify it as legal tender. It’s accompanied by inscriptions verifying its weight and silver contents and the year and country of issue, with the whole surrounded by a decorative border.
That same decorative border appears on the coin’s reverse side, which features a dramatic ukiyo-e rendering of Momotaro subduing the Chief of the Oni, set against a backdrop of radiating rays.
