The national emblem is rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The date appears in the exergue below the emblem. The legend 'SINGAPORE' and its equivalents in Tamil, Chinese, and Malay — 'சிங்கப்பூர்', '新加坡', and 'SINGAPURA' — are inscribed around the periphery in their respective scripts. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamically rendered Qilin — the auspicious chimeric creature of Chinese mythology — depicted in high relief in a rearing posture, its scaled body, flowing mane, and clawed hooves rendered with fine sculptural detail. The mythical beast occupies the full central field, conveying a sense of powerful forward motion. The circular legend around the periphery reads '* TWO DOLLARS *' along the upper arc and 'QUARTER OUNCE OF 999 FINE GOLD' along the lower arc, separated by five-pointed stars. The inscriptions are rendered in bold, upright Latin capitals against the coin's smooth border. |
