Detailed description
Terracotta Army - 5 Oz
Issued by the State of Fiji for 2019 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.
The coin, with an issue year of 2019, was not released by the Schottdale Mint until later in the year. Therefore, it also reduced the normal mintage from 10,000 pieces to just 1,500. This makes this 2019 edition rare and scarce. The 2020 edition will be minted in the original mintage of 10,000 pieces.
On its reverse side, the coin depicts the upper half of the body of a warrior and a horse from the terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shi Huangti. The image showcases the realistic detailing of the sculptures and the use of real soldiers' armour and animal harnesses. 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 burial complex of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. It consists of more than 8,000 warriors, horses and war chariots. The statues have been crafted with impressive detail. Each one is unique with unique facial features and is complete with armor and real weapons. The statues themselves were made piecemeal and from individual parts. The entire statue was then modelled, fired and painted in colour to a realistic likeness.
The obverse of the coin depicts the Fiji national emblem 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.
