| Reverse description | Central design depicting a traditional Taiwanese rural scene featuring a farmer and a water buffalo working together in a paddy field, rendered in high relief against a detailed agricultural landscape. The composition evokes the abundance and harmony of the countryside associated with the Year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Latent image technology is incorporated into the design, revealing the outline of Taiwan when the coin is tilted to the right, and the silhouette of Mount Yu (Yushan), the highest peak in Taiwan, when tilted to the left. The Chinese cyclical year inscription 己丑年 appears in the field along with the fineness and weight designations. The legend 中央造幣廠承製 identifies the Central Mint of China (Taiwan) as the manufacturer. |
