The tale of Momotaro goes back in written form to the early Edo Period of Japan, first appearing in print in the early 17th century. It went on to become a touchstone of Japanese identity in the Meiji Period, where it was taught in schools to give children an inspirational role model. The version of Momotaro in those tales, and in many thereafter, was a supernatural hero born from a giant peach who manifested great strength at a young age. He would go on to conquer the Oni (“demons” or “ogres”) who oppressed his land, as celebrated in the Legends of Japan collection with the 2021 1 oz Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Ukiyoe Coin.
Coin Highlights:
The Edo Period was a time of prosperity and change in Japan that saw new developments in art and culture. One of the most notable was the rise of the ukiyo-e art style, which united classical Chinese concepts of composition with dynamic aesthetics and choices of subject matter that were uniquely Japanese. Parallel to this came the emergence of the Momotaro folktale into written literature, which would go on the shape public education and the formation of Japan’s national identity in the centuries to come.
The 2021 Samoa Silver Momotaro Onto Demon Island in Ukiyoe Coin pays tribute to the iconic hero with detailed engravings, and 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. The design is 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 they storm Onigashima, or Demon Island.
