| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Singapore Arms — comprising a crescent moon and five stars on a shield, flanked by a lion and a tiger as supporters — rendered in high relief at the centre of this fan-shaped puzzle-piece planchet. The legend SINGAPURA arcs along the upper curved edge in Latin characters, with the Tamil inscription சிங்கப்பூர் to the left and the Chinese characters 新加坡 to the right, both running vertically along the lateral fields. The date 2014 appears below the coat of arms, with the English legend SINGAPORE inscribed beneath it along the lower edge. The mirrored proof fields provide a sharp contrast to the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a rat in profile, positioned centrally within the fan-shaped field, commemorating the Year of the Rat in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The year 1984 — the most recent prior occurrence of the Wood Rat year — is inscribed in the upper field above the animal. The Chinese characters 甲子 (jiǎzǐ, denoting the Wood Rat cyclical year) appear in the lower left field, while the denomination $2 is inscribed in the lower right field. The frosted devices stand in strong contrast against the mirror-polished proof background. |
