Astonishing Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang

Hidden from the passage of time for well over 2,000 years, the Terracotta Army guarding the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, was discovered in 1974. This was unquestionably one of the most astounding finds of antiquity ever unearthed. Remarkably well-preserved, the collection of life-size terracotta clay figures totaled over 8,000 fully armed soldiers, 130 chariots pulled by 520 horses and accompanied by cavalry of another 150 horses. This fine army was commissioned by the emperor to guard him in the afterlife. Quite remarkably, each figure had unique personal characteristics, even down to their facial expressions.

Stunningly Unique Design

The obverse displays the distinctive Fiji Coat of Arms, centered in the field, with the background beautifully antiqued and polished. Encircling the image are the inscriptions "FIJI . 2021 . 5 TROY OZ . 999 SILVER . 2 DOLLARS."
