It's a coin from Taiwan(Chukaminkoku) year 63 means 1973

and they're a [!@#%^] to find in mint state! I've been looking for nearly three years and have only found a couple in vf-ef. Part of the mintage of Yr62(1973) and Yr63(1974) was contracted to the Denver mint, which is why I'm looking for them.

I could finally looked it up on krause and it says yr 63(1974) also it says over 500.000.000 minted and worth only 50 cents in UNC. (my type of coins )
