Taiwan 10 Yuan Coin

Brief Description

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Chiang Kai-shek, surrounded by Chinese characters indicating the Republic of China and the year of issue (Year 81). The reverse typically shows different motifs such as flowers (e.g., plum blossom) or other national symbols, along with the denomination.

Historical Significance

This coin is part of Taiwan's circulating currency. Chiang Kai-shek's image is a common feature on Taiwanese coinage, reflecting his foundational role in the Republic of China on Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War. The 'Year 81' refers to the Minguo calendar, which starts from 1912 (the founding of the Republic of China), making Year 81 equivalent to 1992.

Estimated Value

Circulating value, typically USD 0.30 - 1.00 (depending on exchange rate and condition, no significant collector's value for common dates in circulated condition).

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place. For circulated coins, cleaning is generally not recommended as it can decrease collector value. For uncirculated specimens, use archival-safe holders.
