This coin celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Discovery of the Terracotta Army (1974–2024).
The Terracotta Army was unearthed in 1974 near Xi’an, China, when farmers accidentally discovered the pits while digging a well.
The find is considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, tied to Emperor Qin Shi Huang (China’s first emperor, 259–210 BCE).
The army, with thousands of life-sized soldiers, horses, and chariots, was buried to guard his tomb and symbolize imperial power in the afterlife.
The coin: Obverse (front):
Shaped like a Terracotta Warrior in a stylized, almost cartoonish/Chibi representation.
