| Aanvullende informatie |
Singapore's piedfort lunar issues of this period were struck in parallel with standard-weight versions, the doubled planchet thickness producing a coin that sits noticeably heavier in hand than its listed specifications suggest at first glance — though the weight confirms exactly two standard flans. The 1999 Rabbit falls within Singapore Mint's second full cycle of the twelve-year lunar series, which the mint had been producing since the mid-1980s largely for the regional collector market in Southeast Asia and among the Chinese diaspora.
Piéforts have a documented history stretching back to medieval French minting practice, used originally as presentation and pattern pieces. Singapore's adoption of the format for lunar issues was commercially motivated, but production quantities remained tightly controlled.
