| Reverse description | The national emblem of the Republic of China — a white plum blossom within a blue disc, here rendered in outline — is displayed prominently in the upper central field, flanked by two symmetrical olive or wheat branches forming a wreath. To the left and right of the wreath, Chinese inscriptions denote the denomination and fineness: '新臺幣貳仟圓' (New Taiwan Dollar 2000) on the left and '成色9999 含金一英兩' (fineness .9999, one troy ounce gold) on the right. Below, a multi-line Latin legend in bold relief reads: 'COMMEMORATING THE 20 MAY 2012 INAUGURATION OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN) THE FIFTH ELECTED BY POPULAR VOTE'. |

| Additional information |
Struck to mark the second inauguration of President Ma Ying-jeou, who took office for his final term in May 2012 on a platform of cross-strait economic engagement. His first term had produced the landmark Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement with Beijing in 2010 — the closest formal economic arrangement between the two governments since 1949. The Central Mint issued this piece in fine gold at one troy ounce, a format reserved for the most politically significant commemoratives in Taiwan's modern series.
