Taiwan’s central bank says it will issue commemorative coins to mark the 70th anniversary of the victory against the Japanese invasion during WWII.
The bank announced on Tuesday it will issue in July 20,000 sets of a NT$50 and NT$20 coin each at a cost of US$13.
The set of coins related to the victory against the Japanese invasion during WWII is the first of its kind, so they will be collector’s items.
Each set also includes its related history, such as Taiwan’s ceding to Japan during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Mukden Incident and the all-out war against the Japanese invasion. It also describes the diplomatic efforts during the Second Sino-Japanese War as well as Taiwan’s return to Chinese rule following the victory.
The bank said each person is limited to buying only one set.
