That was a great web site! I have one like Newbismatic had except it had a 1 on the reverse side rather than a 5. It turned out to be from Taiwan! Now...what is it worth? anything? I really am interested I knowing what metal it is made of. Any ideas?
Rest in Peace

That would be the copper-coloured 1 yuan, rather than the 5 yuan. 1 yuan coins that "look like this" are made of aluminium-bronze.

As for value, I'm afraid the answer is "not much". The 1 yuan is the smallest coin in everyday circulation, with a face value equivalent to about 3 US cents. NGC database page.

OK. Thanks for the feedback folks. I had no idea what the thing was made of.
