| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar New Year series has been issued annually since 1981, making it one of the longer-running commemorative programs in Southeast Asia. The 2006 dog issue falls within the second full cycle of the twelve-year series, by which point collector demand had firmly outpaced initial mintage projections from the early runs.
