附加信息

Historical Context: Issued from 1975 to 1984, this Singapore 1 Dollar silver proof coin marks a pivotal era in the nation's post-independence development. Under Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore underwent rapid economic growth and nation-building. This era solidified its sovereign identity, with coinage reflecting a confident, forward-looking state. Proof issues served as numismatic ambassadors, showcasing Singapore's unique presence and departure from colonial numismatic traditions.

Artistry: The design, characteristic of modern nationalistic coinage, features Singapore's Coat of Arms on the obverse: a lion and tiger supporting a shield with a crescent moon and five stars, symbolizing national aspirations. The legend "SINGAPORE" is presented in its four official languages. The reverse features the Vanda Miss Joaquim, the national orchid, symbolizing resilience, accompanied by the denomination "1 DOLLAR" and the year. Specific engraver attribution is rare for national mint issues; the aesthetic is clear, contemporary, and symbolic.

Technical/Grading: Struck in .925 fine silver, this proof issue demands superior production quality. High points for examination include the intricate details of the lion's mane and tiger's fur on the Coat of Arms, clarity of shield elements, and the orchid's delicate veins on the reverse. Proof strikes are defined by deeply mirrored fields and frosted, sharply defined devices, creating a strong cameo contrast. Collectors seek pristine surfaces, free from hairlines or toning, to appreciate its brilliance and full strike.
