Silver in the foreign 10c Bin

Out of 2 pounds of world coins for $11 I found some cool stuff but silver!? 2 1/2 panamas 1968 and a 1970 that I believe are silver clad and another Chinese or Japanese coin that may be silver clad as well? Also found a 1 yen with huge die cracks across OBV and rev

    The Japanese coin?

    The 1968 and 1970 Panama medio balboas are 11.5 gm, 40% silver. 0.1479 t oz each if I recall correctly. Nice finds for 10c per.

    I know I have seen that Asian coin before, I can't put my finger on what it is though. I looked briefly through some country listing on numista but couldn't find it. I think it is Chinese though.

    (Edit) A clearer picture of the reverse might help.

    I believe the coin shown is Taiwan.

    Figured I would post some pics of all the die cracks on the coin I mentioned in earlier!
