The Central Bank recently unveiled the 15th edition of its Taiwan Aboriginal Culture Series, this time highlighting the Hla’alua people. The coins feature traditional attire, cross-stitch patterns, and a sacred shell to showcase the Hla’alua culture. Each set also includes a NT$20 circulating coin. Only 13,000 sets are to be released, going on sale on Nov. 12.

The design on this commemorative coin includes colorful traditional attire and cross-stitch patterns.

On the reverse side is a sacred shell representing ancestral spirits and the protective power of the family. The set also includes a NT$20 circulating coin. This is the 15th edition of the Central Bank’s Taiwan Aboriginal Culture Series, dedicated to the Hla’alua people.

A total of 13,000 sets will be offered at different branches of the Bank of Taiwan. Each person will be limited to two sets. Each one is priced at NT$350.

Since 1998, the Central Bank has issued 14 of these Aboriginal Culture Series coin sets. The 15th edition this year is to go on sale on Nov. 12. This round centers the Hla’alua people, known for their unique sacred shell festival. The tribe of about 500, primarily from Kaohsiung’s Taoyuan District, was officially recognized as Taiwan’s 15th Indigenous group in 2014. The Central Bank visited the tribe in person for input.

In 2012, we issued a National Parks of Taiwan coin set that continued through 2021. This year, we’re resuming the aboriginal series with this new Hla’alua coin set to honor Indigenous cultures. Much like our zodiac series, we’re not doing this for a profit. The price is very close to its cost.

The Central Bank said it plans to issue coin sets for the official 16th and 17th tribes in the future, hoping to commemorate these unique cultures for future generations.
