| Reverse description | A vividly colored depiction of a playful dog rendered in orange and white tones dominates the center of the field, shown in a crouching, alert posture with its bushy tail raised and head tilted upward. The coloring technique gives the dog a lively, stylized appearance characteristic of Lunar Series commemorative issues. In the uncolored background, traditional Singapore architectural elements — including a shophouse facade and a gazebo — are rendered in relief, surrounded by floral motifs. The denomination '$2' is inscribed at the upper center of the field, with the silver specification legend arcing above it. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar New Year collector series has been issued annually since 1981, making it one of the longest-running bullion-adjacent programs in Southeast Asia. The 2018 dog year issue falls in the fourth cycle of the twelve-year rotation — the series having completed three full zodiac cycles before this striking.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore maintains strict mintage caps on these releases, and secondary market premiums on earlier dog-year issues from 1994 and 2006 have consistently outpaced their silver melt value by a wide margin.
