Overview

Historical significance

This coin commemorates Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975), a prominent political and military leader of 20th-century China. He served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975. After the Chinese Civil War, he relocated the Republic of China government to Taiwan in 1949. Coins featuring his likeness are common in Taiwan and reflect his enduring legacy as a founding figure of modern Taiwan.

Estimated value

In circulated condition, this coin typically holds a nominal value, close to its face value. Its numismatic value is generally low unless it's in uncirculated (mint state) condition or possesses rare errors. As of late 2023, its value is typically less than 1 USD.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert holder like an acid-free Mylar flip or a non-PVC coin slab. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often damage its surface and decrease its numismatic value.
