| Obverse description | The national arms of Singapore occupy the central field, depicting the lion and tiger supporters flanking a shield bearing a crescent and five stars, above a banner. The date 2012 appears below the emblem. A four-language legend surrounding the design reads 'SINGAPORE' in English, 'SINGAPURA' in Malay, the Tamil script rendering, and the Chinese characters 新加坡, arranged around the periphery. |

Singapore's Lunar Series coins are struck by the Singapore Mint under MAS authority and have been issued annually since 1967, making the series one of the longest-running government lunar programs in the world. The 2012 Dragon issue falls within a generation of fractional gold pieces deliberately sized for affordability and gift-giving rather than bullion accumulation — the .9999 fineness exceeding even standard four-nines purity requirements common to most sovereign issues of the period.
