| Aanvullende informatie |
Singapore's Lunar New Year coin program has run continuously since 1981, when the Monetary Authority issued its first zodiac piece for the Year of the Cock. The 2004 Monkey issue falls in the ninth cycle of that series. Mintages for the proof silver pieces have historically been tightly controlled, with the MAS issuing them in presentation sets targeting both domestic collectors and the overseas Chinese diaspora market — a significant consideration given Singapore's demographic composition and its role as a regional financial hub.
The Monkey year holds particular commercial weight in Chinese numismatic markets; born-in-the-year collectors drive secondary demand well above face value on most issues in this zodiac position.
