The story of Momotaro is one of the most popular Japanese folktales of all time: the journey of a hero who sets out with a motley group of animal companions to free his land from the oppression of monsters. Those monsters, called Oni — a word that translates to “ogre” or “demon” — are pirates that dwell on an island named for them: Onigashima. As the legend goes, the journey to that island brought the hero face to face with the chief of his enemies, whom he subdued by wrestling and from whom he reclaimed centuries of stolen wealth. With the 2021 1 oz 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 (the practice combining art and words) is a very old art form in Japan, dating back to at least the 13th century, but grew more common in the late Edo Period, when the legend of Momotaro was first written down. These threads of artistic and mythical tradition come together with anime — the televised cartoon descendant of manga which, in the wake of the Second World War, became wildly popular — now lending its distinctive style to a pure silver collectible that celebrates an iconic moment in the legend. It’s only fitting, given that generations of modern Japanese children were introduced to Momotaro by cartoons.
The 2021 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 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 dynamic anime-style image of Momotaro and his pheasant, monkey, and dog companions flourishing a banner and storming Onigashima. Stylized waves in the foreground and radiating rays in the backdrop complete the design.
