The monetary system of Taiwan aka Republic of China, is decimal based, with
the primary unit of Taiwanese money being called the Yuan. On the world
money exchanges, the currency is referred to as a "New Taiwan Dollar" with a symbol NT$ .
These coins of 50 Yuan (NT$) were minted between the years 1995-2000 and got demonetized from 30 June 2004.
Obverse side of the coin has picture of Taiwan Parliament building (Presidential Office) embossed along with the lettering: 年六十八國民華中 1997. This building was designed during the period of Japanese rule of Taiwan.
Reverse side has Orchid plant embossed on it along with the lettering: ⠼⠑⠚ ⠓ 50 圓拾 伍. I suspect that the dotted script is Braille script but could not confirm it.
