| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Arms of Singapore centrally within the fan-shaped field, featuring a shield bearing a crescent moon and five stars, supported by a lion rampant to the left and a tiger to the right, with a ribbon below inscribed MAJULAH SINGAPURA. The legend SINGAPURA arcs along the upper margin in Latin script, flanked by the Tamil inscription சிங்கப்பூர் to the left and the Chinese characters 新加坡 to the right. The date 2016 appears below the coat of arms, with SINGAPORE inscribed beneath it along the lower arc of the field. The interlocking puzzle-piece edges of the flan are clearly delineated by a raised border, reflecting the coin's role as part of a multi-piece collectible set. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a monkey, the zodiac animal of the Chinese year 丙申, rendered in high relief against a frosted field background. Repeating Chinese characters associated with the year of the Monkey are arranged decoratively across the upper register of the fan-shaped flan. The Chinese cyclical year designation 丙申 appears prominently in the lower left of the field, while the denomination $2 is inscribed to the lower right. The overall composition reflects traditional Chinese artistic conventions celebrating the Lunar New Year. |
