| Obverse description | Conjoined busts of President Ma Ying-jeou and Vice President Wu Den-yih facing slightly toward each other, rendered in high relief against a mirrored field. A curved Chinese legend arcs around the upper periphery reading '中華民國第十三任總統副總統就職紀念' (Commemorating the Inauguration of the 13th-term President and Vice President of the Republic of China). Below the busts, a second legend reads '第五屆直接民選' (Fifth Direct Popular Election), and along the lower rim the date '一０一年五月二十日' (20 May, Year 101 of the Republic of China) is inscribed. |

| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the second inauguration of President Ma Ying-jeou in May 2012, this coin was produced during a period of notably cautious cross-strait relations — Ma's administration had pursued a policy of economic rapprochement with the People's Republic, including the landmark 2010 ECFA trade agreement, which remained politically divisive on the island. The Central Bank's decision to issue a commemorative in New Dollars rather than the older Yuan denomination reflects the currency nomenclature that has quietly underscored Taiwan's separate monetary administration since 1949.
