| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised rabbit in high relief at the centre of the field, rendered in a traditional Chinese decorative aesthetic with detailed line work conveying fur texture and form. The animal is shown in a resting posture, facing left, set against an intricate background of swirling cloud and floral scrollwork motifs. At the upper portion of the field, the Gregorian year 1999 and the Chinese cyclical year designation 己卯 are inscribed, identifying the Year of the Rabbit. The face value $2 appears prominently in the lower field. The overall design conforms to the fan-shaped interlocking puzzle piece format characteristic of this Singapore Lunar series. |

Singapore's lunar series coins are struck for the collector market and see essentially no circulation, but the 2015 Rabbit issue carries a specific production note worth flagging: the Monetary Authority of Singapore contracted the Perth Mint for striking, meaning quality control follows Australian mint standards rather than domestic ones — a distinction that matters for die sharpness on the relief details.
