From what I can translate is to a memorial coin for the 110th years celebrating Sun Yat-Sen achievement, his birth name is Sun Men.

Top 4 words from 1st photo are "Tien Ha Wai Gong" meaning Justice Above All, bottom picture of the 2 words are "Bog I" meaning to Spread Love. I may not get the translation correct, so other please chime in to correct me.

This is a Taiwanese medal most likely issued by the Dr Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei to honor the 110th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth. Since Dr Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Chinese Republic, was born in 1866, this medal was probably issued in 1976.
