| Additional information |
Singapore's independence anniversary coinage in this period was issued under a broader commemorative program that often tied numismatic releases to national milestone years. The 41st anniversary is an unremarkable numerical milestone by conventional reckoning — not a round figure, not a jubilee — which makes this issue something of a curiosity in the series, likely driven by the Monetary Authority's annual release schedule rather than any particular historical significance attached to 2006 itself.
