| Obverse description | The arms of Singapore are displayed centrally in the field, featuring the crescent moon and five stars within a shield, flanked by a lion and a tiger as supporters, with a ribbon below. The date of issue appears beneath the emblem. The peripheral legend presents the name 'Singapore' in four official languages arranged around the coin: English at the base, with Tamil, Chinese, and Malay occupying the remaining quadrants, reflecting the nation's multilingual character. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's gold bullion program launched in 1983 as part of a deliberate push to position the island state as a regional precious metals trading hub, competing directly with Hong Kong for Asian bullion market share. The Monetary Authority issued these pieces in a period when Singapore was aggressively expanding its financial infrastructure — the Gold Exchange of Singapore had opened just two years prior, in 1978, and physical bullion instruments were central to that ambition.
Fr#B1 designation places this among Friedberg's earliest Singapore bullion listings, reflecting how new the program was to international cataloging at the time of publication.
