Momotaro is the hero of one of the most popular Japanese folktales of all time: a brave youth who sets out with a group of animal companions to free his parents’ village from the oppression of monsters. Those monsters, called Oni — “ogres” or “demons” — are pirates dwelling on an island named for them, and the journey to that island would bring the hero face to face with the chief of his enemies, whom he subdued by wrestling and from whom he reclaimed generations’ worth of stolen wealth. With the 2021 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Anime Coin, the Legends of Japan collection celebrates a key scene in this myth in the most popular of modern Japanese artistic styles.
Coin Highlights:
Manga (broadly speaking, comic books) are a very old art form in Japan, dating back to at least the 13th century. It grew more common in the late Edo Period, when the legend of Momotaro was first being written down and becoming popular not just as oral tradition but as literature. These threads of artistic and mythical tradition come together with anime — the televised cartoon cousin of manga which became wildly popular in postwar Japan– now lending its distinctive style to a pure silver collectible that celebrates an iconic moment in the story.
The 2021 Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Anime Coin features high-relief engraved artwork and an antiqued finish. It ships fully insured by the team at JM Bullion in a secure plastic capsule.
The coin’s obverse side features Samoa’s coat of arms to confirm it as legal tender, accompanied by inscriptions verifying its weight and silver contents and the year and country of issue. The design is surrounded by a decorative border and pronounced rim.
The same decorative border appears on the reverse side, overlapped by a striking anime-style image of Momotaro and his pheasant, monkey, and dog companions flourishing a banner and storming Onigashima, or “Demon Island.” Stylized waves in the foreground and radiating rays in the backdrop complete the design.
