| Additional information |
Chiang Wei-shui was a physician and anti-colonial activist who founded the Taiwan Cultural Association in 1921 and later the Taiwan People's Party in 1927 — the first modern political party organized on the island — to resist Japanese imperial rule. He died in 1931, still under occupation, at 40. This coin was issued on the centenary of the Cultural Association's founding year, part of Taiwan's broader effort to rehabilitate figures erased or minimized during the early KMT authoritarian period.
