Keep it in a controlled environment - these are made out of a tin-zinc alloy that will literally disintegrate into dust if allowed to get cold for extended periods. The process has already started as the coin is quite "bumpy" Report this Post to the Staff

It doesn't look like their normal circulating currency though. It might be a token, or a commemorative of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 5:56 pm The Taiwan medal/token depicts Chiang Kai Shek and refers to the 65th Anniversary of the founding or the Republic of China. The reverse shows a cross with, what I assume is, a drop of blood in the centre and the wording that 'Blood Donations Save Peoples Lives'. (rough translation!) Report this Post to the Staff
