Issued to mark the 30th anniversary of ASEAN, this coin was produced at a moment of particular irony: within weeks of its release, the Thai baht collapsed, triggering the Asian financial crisis that would devastate several of the bloc's founding economies. Singapore itself weathered the crisis better than most, but the celebratory framing of this issue was almost immediately overtaken by events.
