| Obverse description | The Arms of Singapore are depicted centrally, supported by a lion on the left and a tiger on the right, with a crescent moon and five stars on the shield. The arms are encircled by the country's name rendered in all four official languages — Malay (SINGAPURA), Chinese (新加坡), English (SINGAPORE), and Tamil (சிங்கப்பூர்) — arranged around the circumference. The national motto MAJULAH SINGAPURA appears at the base of the legend, and the date 1989 is inscribed below the arms in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's lunar series was among the first state-issued silver bullion programs in Southeast Asia, launched as the region's export economies were generating new collector and investor demand in the 1980s. The 1989 Snake issue falls in the second full cycle of the series, which had by then established a consistent proof standard at the Singapore Mint's Jurong facility.
The dual PCGS references reflect two distinct slab generations cataloging the same type — a bookkeeping artifact of PCGS renumbering older world coin submissions rather than any difference in the coin itself.
