Singapore's lunar gold series in this format targets the gift and collectible market rather than circulation, and the 2004 Monkey issue is no exception — produced for Lunar New Year giving in quantities tightly controlled by the MAS. The Year of the Monkey falls on a 12-year cycle, and 2004 marked the Wood Monkey specifically, a subcycle that recurs only once every 60 years within the traditional sexagenary calendar.
