| Obverse description | Facing left truncated effigy of Chiang Kai-shek in military dress, rendered in high relief against a flat field. The traditional Chinese legend 中華民國 (Republic of China) arcs across the upper field from right to left, while the Republic of China year inscription appears in the left field, also reading vertically in traditional Chinese characters. The portrait is realistically modelled with fine detail to the facial features and collar. |

Taiwan's NT$10 coin survived one of the stranger identity crises in modern numismatics: the Republic of China government, exiled to Taiwan since 1949, continued issuing coins under the ROC calendar year system — meaning this piece carries a year count reckoned from the founding of the Republic in 1912, not the Gregorian calendar. A coin dated "70" is 1981; "99" is 2010. Collectors unfamiliar with the Minguo calendar system routinely misdescribe these dates.
