1 Dollar Terracotta army discovery

The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by farmers digging a well near Xi'an, in Shaanxi province — one of the most significant archaeological finds of the twentieth century. Chinese authorities halted the well project and began excavations that eventually revealed thousands of life-sized figures buried with Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, since approximately 210 BCE. Fiji has become a prolific issuing authority for themed commemoratives of this kind, producing legal tender coinage under licensing arrangements that have no meaningful connection to the subject country.
