| Reverse description | A large central circular latent image element occupies the upper field, featuring a finely engine-turned guilloche pattern that reveals a hidden image when viewed at an angle, serving as an anti-counterfeiting security device. The denomination 50 圓 is inscribed in bold characters at the lower centre of the field, flanked by a beaded inner border. The polished annular field surrounds the raised central disc. |

| Additional information |
Taiwan's Central Bank issued this coin during a period of acute cross-strait tension following President Chen Shui-bian's election in March 2000 — the first transfer of power away from the Kuomintang in over five decades. Beijing responded with pointed warnings, and the political atmosphere surrounding ROC commemorative issues of this period carries that weight implicitly.
Y#569 is a relatively low-mintage silver issue by regional standards, though precise figures for this type are inconsistently reported across major references.
