| Obverse description | The Singapore coat of arms is depicted centrally, featuring a lion and a tiger as supporters flanking a shield charged with a crescent and five stars, surmounted by a lion passant. The arms are encircled by the country's name rendered in all four official languages — Malay, Chinese, Tamil, and English — arranged around the full circumference of the coin. The national motto MAJULAH SINGAPURA appears at the base of the legend, and the date 1992 is inscribed below the arms in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar New Year coin program launched in 1967 with the Year of the Goat, making it one of the earliest national mint programs worldwide to issue annual bullion and proof pieces tied to the Chinese zodiac cycle. By 1992, the series had completed a full 12-year rotation and this Monkey issue marks the beginning of the second cycle — a fact that drives collector demand for matched sets spanning both runs.
The .925 standard distinguishes this from the .999 fine silver issues that became more common in lunar programs of the late 1990s.
