2 Dollars Year of the Rooster

Singapore's lunar series coins were issued under the Monetary Authority of Singapore beginning in the 1980s, cycling through the twelve-animal calendar with collector-focused mintages that kept circulated examples rare. The Rooster falls in a year when Singapore's broader commemorative program was already crowded, and copper-nickel issues like this one were produced alongside more expensive silver and gold versions targeting different market tiers — a tiered release structure the MAS had refined over two decades by 2005.
