The tale of Momotaro goes back in written form to the early Edo Period of Japan, appearing in print in the early 17th century. No doubt much more widespread orally both before and after that point, it became a touchstone of Japanese identity in the Meiji Period between 1868 and 1912, when a standard version of the story was taught in schools to give children an inspirational role model. The version of Momotaro in those tales, and in many versions of them thereafter, was a supernatural hero born from a giant peach who manifested great strength at a young age, and went on to conquer the Oni (“demons” or “ogres”) who oppressed his land. The Legends of Japan collection pays tribute to him with the 2021 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Ukiyoe Coin.
Coin Highlights:
The Edo Period, from the 17th to the mid-19th century, was a prosperous era that saw numerous changes in Japanese art and culture. One of the most momentous was the birth of the ukiyo-e art style, which brought together classical Chinese concepts of composition with newly bold and dynamic aesthetics and subject matter that were uniquely Japanese. Another development was the emergence of the folktale of Momotaro into written literature, which would play a major part in public education and the formation of the national identity from the Meiji Restoration onward. Momotaro inspired Japanese schoolchildren for generations, and continues to do so today.
The 2021 Antique Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Ukiyoe Coin pays tribute to an iconic hero with high-relief engraved artwork and an antiqued finish. It ships fully insured in a secure plastic capsule from the team at JM Bullion.
The obverse side features Samoa’s coat of arms with inscriptions verifying its weight and silver contents and the year and country of issue, surrounded by an intricate decorative border.
That same decorative border appears on the reverse side, which features Momotaro and his animal companions wielding samurai weapons as the storm Onigashima, the island of the demons the hero was destined to defeat.
