| Reverse description | A boldly rendered Chinese celestial dragon dominates the field in full color, depicted in dynamic three-quarter view with its head turned toward the viewer, jaws open to reveal fangs, and its sinuous scaled body coiling leftward amid auspicious cloud formations. The dragon is rendered in vivid polychrome enamel with golden and amber tones highlighted by red and green accents. In the background, the iconic Supertree structures of Gardens by the Bay are depicted in fine relief, evoking Singapore's modern urban landscape. The denomination $2 appears prominently at the top center of the field, with the legend 1/4 TROY OZ 999 FINE SILVER inscribed in a curved arc above it along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar New Year collector issues have been produced annually since 1998, making this one of the longer-running bullion-adjacent series among Southeast Asian central banks. The Monetary Authority of Singapore manages these releases tightly — mintages are capped and distribution is weighted toward domestic channels, meaning pieces frequently command premiums above melt almost immediately on secondary markets.
The Dragon year falls every twelve years; this 2024 issue marks the second Dragon release of the current century, the first having been struck in 2012.
