The coin is from Taiwan (Republic of China). The first image states the denomination is 5 jiao ("50 cents"). The second image has the inscription "Republic of China 56 year" which means it was produced in the year 1967. I do not have any reference books on modern Chinese coinage so I can only provide the translation for you. Gary
Y#46, brass, Krause uses the alternative transliteration "Chiao" for the denomination. As I said in the other thread, the denomination side (reverse) is approximately upside down.
