| Reverse description | The reverse features two latent image security elements in the upper portion of the field: rotating the coin to the right reveals an image of plum blossoms, the national flower of the Republic of China, while rotating it to the left discloses a representation of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei. At center, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's own calligraphic rendition of the Confucian passage 'The Great Commonwealth' (大同) is inscribed in full, encircled by a decorative border of plum blossoms near the inner edge. The denomination '100圓' and the silver purity mark '1 oz. Ag999' appear within the design, with the text concluding with Sun Yat-sen's signature '孫文' accompanied by a personal seal. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of China has issued commemorative silver dollars bearing Sun Yat-sen's portrait on and off since the 1920s, a lineage that tracks the fractured political history of the government itself — minted on the mainland, then carried to Taiwan in 1949 along with the gold reserves and the Central Bank. By 2015, the tradition was well into its seventh decade on the island, with these issues serving a collector market rather than any monetary function; the "New Dollar" denomination is nominal, the face value a legal fiction against actual silver content.
