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.
