New Taiwan Dollar 50 Yuan

Brief Description

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, with the year of issue "民國110年" (Minguo Year 110) above his head. The reverse typically depicts cherry blossoms, Taiwan's national flower, along with the denomination.

Historical Significance

This coin is part of the standard circulation currency of the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Minguo calendar starts from the year 1912, the founding year of the Republic of China. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is revered in Taiwan for his role in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic. Coins like this represent the continuous economic and political sovereignty of Taiwan.

Estimated Value

Circulated coins typically hold their face value, which is approximately 1.50-2.00 USD (as of late 2023). Uncirculated or proof versions might fetch a slight premium among collectors, but generally, it's not a high-value collectible.

Care Instructions

Handle the coin by its edges to prevent transferring oils from your skin, which can cause tarnishing over time. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a non-PVC coin holder or album to protect it from environmental damage and physical wear. Avoid cleaning unless you are a professional, as improper cleaning can decrease its value.
