Help Identifying coin please?

Hey!

I am sure this is in the right spot. But we recently finished cleaning a room for our baby's room. We bought this house from an elderly lady and found this kinda neat coin. It is foreign... I assume from Japan. But I was curious as to it's value... or where I could find out if it has a value. When I say value... I mean as is it worth more than what Japan says it is or was worth... here are some images... any help would be apperciated.

    Taiwan 5 Chiao 1954 I believe. Your second image is upside down. Worth about 3c.

    Republic Year 43.

    BTW - The presence of a human bust (even if it weren't Taiwan hero Chiang Kai-Shek) establishes that it is not Japanese. The only Japanese coin to ever have a bust on it was the ¥5,000 Osaka Expo commemorative of 1990, and that was an allegorical figure, not a person.
