Anniversary Coin ... But What's the Celebration?



The cashier at my local seven-eleven specially picked out this coin for my change knowing that I would geek out on it.  It is apparently a 50 year commemorative coin but I don't know what for.  My best guess is 50 years of the Taiwan Provincial Government or 50 years of the ROC on Taiwan ...  anyone out there able to help?

UPDATE: Thanks to David Reid who comments to let me know its a coin to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 'restoration' (retrocession?) of Taiwan.
