| Obverse description | The Singapore state emblem, comprising a lion's head above a crescent moon and five stars encircled by a wreath, occupies the central field. The date 2016 appears beneath the emblem. The national name SINGAPORE is inscribed around the design in the country's four official languages: English (SINGAPORE), Malay (SINGAPURA), Tamil (சிங்கப்பூர்), and Chinese (新加坡), reflecting the nation's multilingual identity. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's lunar series has been issued continuously since 1981, making it one of the longest-running such programs among Southeast Asian central banks. The 2023 Rabbit year fell outside this coin's scope — this 2016 piece marks the preceding rabbit cycle, issued under the traditional twelve-year rotation that the Monetary Authority has followed without interruption across multiple metal formats and denomination tiers.
Mintage figures for MAS lunar silver issues are tightly controlled and released in limited quantities through official channels, with unsold stock rarely making secondary appearances.
