The head and deputy head of state are looking out ahead toward the future. The window grilles in the background convey that the president and vice president will continue to lead Taiwan in establishing connections with the world.

Engraved in the upper part is the logo of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.; below this, the Chinese characters reading “Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.” and “9999 Au” and “10g.” The traditional Chinese characters reading “Mintage Undertaken by the Central Mint” are engraved bottom-most.

In the Republic of China’s (Taiwan’s) 16ᵗʰ-term presidential and vice presidential elections, Lai Ching-te was elected president and Hsiao Bi-khim was elected vice president. Chunghwa Post has issued 1,200 pieces of commemorative pure gold ingot. Its theme derives from the design of the souvenir sheet of The Inauguration of the 16ᵗʰ-term President and Vice President Commemorative Issue. Also issued are 520 sets of The Inauguration of the 16ᵗʰ-term President and Vice President Commemorative Set of Pure Gold Ingot and Fine Silver Ingot. Each set includes 1 piece each of the pure gold ingot and fine silver ingot. The latest laser micromachining and a unique casting method make for this ingot’s delicate bas-relief and background. This ingot in a special limited-edition minting is a highly collectable artifact with a commemorative meaning.
