Fifth series of the new Taiwan dollar banknote

Along with the introduction of this series of banknotes, the New Taiwan dollar became the official currency of the ROC and is no longer secondary to the silver yuan.

[1] This series also ends a four-decade tradition of including Chiang Kai-shek in most of the banknotes of higher denominations except for the NT$200 issue,[2] opting for the more "modern" themes.

Microprinting, windowed security threads, perfect registration devices and lithographic printing have been included.

The obverse of the banknote features the first president of the ROC, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, with the verses of "The Chapter of Great Harmony" by Confucius in the background.

The obverse of the banknote features the Generalissimo and Chairman of the Nationalist Government of the ROC Chiang Kai-shek, with his Land Reform Policy and Public Education in the background.

The obverse of the banknote features youth baseballers, known for their achievements as 17 times champion in the Little League World Series.
