| Obverse description | Central field features the arms of Singapore — a stylized lion's head and crescent moon with five stars within a shield — surrounded by the national emblem. The date 2008 appears below the central device. The legend encircles the emblem in four languages: 'SINGAPORE' in Latin script at top, 'SINGAPURA' in Malay, 'சிங்கப்பூர்' in Tamil script, and '新加坡' in Chinese characters, reflecting Singapore's multilingual identity. |

| Reverse description | A stylized rat rendered in a traditional Chinese decorative art style is depicted in the central field, resting atop a textured surface suggestive of a granary or treasure chest, with a similarly patterned triangular form in the upper field behind it — an allusion to abundance and prosperity. The Chinese cyclical characters '戊子' (Wù Zǐ), denoting the Year of the Rat in the sexagenary cycle, appear to the right of the rat. The denomination '$100' is inscribed in the lower centre, with the legend '1 TROY OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD' arcing along the lower left periphery of the field. |
