| Additional information |
Issued to mark the May 2008 inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou as President of the Republic of China, this coin appeared at a politically charged moment — Ma's election ended eight years of Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party administration and signaled a significant shift toward warmer cross-strait relations with the People's Republic. The Central Bank produced it in .999 silver rather than the more common .900 standard, a specification choice that aligned it with contemporary bullion-grade commemoratives rather than purely numismatic issues.
