No, in Taiwan now they have a much smaller 1/2 dollar coin, but it's rarely used.

There are a number of pattern coins which have this same design


Oftentimes the design is similar but not exactly the same, and by minute differences you can tell the coin.

The portrait is actually Chiang Kai-shek and not Sun Yat-sen.


We already once had this discussion, Sun Yat-sen vs. Chiang Kai-shek. I do firmly believe the man on Jacquueyn's coin is the same as on the earlier coinage of Taiwan, Sun Yat-sen. Chiang did not appear on the coins till 1961.

So, is this still a normal Taiwanese coin that they used?


It used to be. They have a newer version now. In particular, the new 5 chiao (or half yuan) looks like this
