| Additional information |
Taiwan's 5-dollar coin was introduced in 1965 as part of the New Taiwan Dollar currency system, itself a product of the 1949 monetary reform that replaced the catastrophically inflated Old Taiwan Dollar at a rate of 40,000 to one — a direct consequence of the hyperinflationary collapse that accompanied the Nationalist government's retreat from the mainland.
