Detailed description
Terracotta Army - 5 Oz
Issued by the State of Fiji in 2018 and minted by the Scottsdale Mint in the finest 99.9% pure silver, this five-ounce (155.52 g) silver investment coin with an antique finish is dedicated to the "Terracotta Army", part of the largest tomb in the world, the mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
On its reverse side, the coin shows a detail of a warrior statue, capturing the delicacy of the sculpture's craftsmanship. In the background, other soldiers stand in perfect ranks, giving an idea of the astonishing scale of the terracotta army of the Qin Emperor Shi Huangti. The motif is complemented by the Chinese characters 兵马俑 (Terracotta Army). The coin is struck in a patinated design, the edge of the coin is polished and irregular as if hand-worked.
The terracotta army dates from the 3rd century BC and was discovered by peasants in 1974 while digging a well. It is part of the funerary complex of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty and consists of more than 8,000 warriors, horses and war chariots. The statues have been crafted with impressive detail, each with unique facial features and complete with armour and real weapons. The statues themselves were made piecemeal and from individual parts, then the entire statue was modeled, fired and painted in color to a realistic likeness.
The obverse depicts the national emblem of Fiji surrounded by the inscriptions "FIJI", the year of issue, weight, purity, and face value.
The coin comes in a stylish pouch with a certificate of authenticity.
