Taiwan's lunar new year commemorative series has been issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of China since the late 1990s, with each zodiac coin struck in limited quantities and sold directly to collectors rather than released into general circulation. The Ox issue appeared during a year when cross-strait tensions were running unusually high, though the coin's production calendar paid those no mind.
Nickel brass at this diameter and weight puts it firmly in bimetallic commemorative territory — but this is a single-alloy strike, which keeps production costs down without sacrificing the warm golden tone collectors associate with the series.
