    Quote "Comments - The writing on this coin is in Traditional Chinese Characters which are still used in Taiwan.
    The characters read from right to left and top to bottom, even on new Taiwanese coins." closed quote

    It was probably minted in Korea, though.

    I know the Koreans won a contract to mint these around this time. Not sure when that contract began, but it was for the manufacture of these 1 Yuan coins.
