| Reverse description | A highly stylized rooster rendered in a bold, decorative folk-art style occupies the central field, depicted facing left with an elaborate sweeping tail and prominent comb, surrounded by swirling cloud and floral motifs that fill the entire field. The Chinese cyclical year characters 癸酉, denoting the Year of the Rooster, appear to the left of the central figure. The denomination $10 is inscribed in the lower central field, with the legend 2 TROY OZ 999 FINE SILVER along the lower rim, confirming the piedfort specification. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's lunar series piedfort strikes were produced in extremely limited quantities alongside their standard counterparts, with the doubled-thickness planchet format borrowed from a European — primarily British Royal Mint — tradition that Singapore adopted selectively through the 1980s and 1990s. The 1993 Rooster issue falls within the Mint's second full lunar cycle of piedfort production, meaning collector demand had already been established and allocations were tightly controlled through authorised dealers.
KM#113a distinguishes the piedfort from the standard KM#113 strike. Both share the same dies.
