| Reverse description | A stylized tiger rendered in a traditional Chinese folk-art idiom occupies the central field, depicted in a crouching, alert posture with mouth agape, its body articulated with bold, decorative strokes evoking paper-cut or brush-painting techniques. Auspicious cloud and floral scroll motifs surround the animal, filling the field with an ornate decorative border. The cyclical year designation '戊寅' in Chinese seal script appears in the upper portion of the field, identifying the Tiger year within the traditional sexagenary calendar. The denomination '$10' is inscribed in the lower field. An engraver's mark 'E yu' is visible at the lower right of the central design. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar New Year coin series began in 1981 with the Year of the Rooster, making this 1998 Tiger issue the sixth full cycle into the program. The Monetary Authority issued these in copper-nickel alongside a silver proof version, a two-tier release strategy that became standard practice for the series by the mid-1980s.
