    Hi.

    Was wondering if anyone has any insight on this commemorative coin from Taiwan. It's a 1 oz 99.99 pure gold coin commemorating the inauguration of the 10th president and vice president of ROC/Taiwan.

    I received it years back as a gift and am looking to possibly sell it but want to get an idea of the authenticity/value of this coin first.

    Searching the World Coin Catalog comes up with only a silver version of this coin but the catalog also doesn't list the gold version of the coin for the current president/vice president either (and it's available from the Central Mint of China website):

    And there is mention of a gold coin commemorating said inauguration (see following links):

    Also not sure what the deal with the crystal display case is. Apparently 500 of these were gifted to dignitaries and that is where this originally came from.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks
