| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized depiction of a dog in profile, facing left, rendered in a bold, sculptural manner with a curled tail and a decorative floral rosette motif on its flank. The background field is filled with a repeating pattern of the Chinese character 戌 (the earthly branch for Dog) in seal script, creating a rich textured ground. A geometric framework of intersecting lines overlays the composition. The Chinese cyclical year designation 丙戌 appears in the upper left of the field, and the denomination $2 is inscribed centrally above the dog figure. |

Singapore's Lunar New Year collector issues occupy an awkward commercial space — produced for gifting rather than circulation, they survive in quantity and rarely present condition challenges. The Year of the Dog fell in 2006 under the traditional sexagenary cycle, specifically the year of the Fire Dog, a combination that recurs only every sixty years.
