| Additional information |
Singapore's lunar series coins are legal tender but were never intended for circulation — they function primarily as collectibles issued ahead of each new year celebration, with distribution timed to the festive gifting season. The 2019 issue marks the Earth Pig year in the sexagenary cycle, a year the Chinese almanac associates with financial prudence, which did not stop the Monetary Authority from pricing the accompanying sets well above face value.
