| Reverse description | The reverse features two latent image security elements in the upper portion of the field: rotating the coin to the right reveals an image of plum blossoms, the national flower of the Republic of China, while rotating it to the left discloses a representation of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei. At center, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's own calligraphic rendition of the Confucian passage 'The Great Commonwealth' (大同) is inscribed in full, encircled by a decorative border of plum blossoms near the inner edge. The denomination '100圓' and the silver purity mark '1 oz. Ag999' appear within the design, with the text concluding with Sun Yat-sen's signature '孫文' accompanied by a personal seal. |

Mutual confidence is promoted and good neighborliness cultivated. Hence, men do not regard as parents only their own parents, nor do they treat as children only their own children. Provision is secured for the aged till death, employment for the able-bodied, and the means of growing up for the young. Helpless widows and widowers, orphans and the lonely, as well as the sick and the disabled, are well cared for. Men have their respective occupations and women their homes. They do not like to see wealth lying idle, yet they do not keep it for their own gratification. They despise indolence, yet they do not use their energies for their own benefit. In this way, selfish schemes are repressed, and robbers, thieves and other lawless men no longer exist, and there is no need for people to shut their outer doors. This is called the Great Harmony (TA TUNG).' 100 Dollars) |
