This issue dates to the period when the Republic of China government on Taiwan was still actively cultivating international recognition as the legitimate Chinese state — a posture that shaped every aspect of official currency production. The 2000 New Dollar denomination was part of a prestige gold series aimed at collectors and diplomatic gift channels rather than circulation, produced in limited quantities through the Central Mint of China.
Fr#15 in Friedberg's gold coinage catalog places it within a small group of mid-1960s Taiwanese gold issues that remain underrepresented in Western auction records, partly because a significant portion of original production never left government and institutional hands.
