| Reverse description | A finely detailed rooster, the symbol of the Chinese zodiac Year of the Rooster, is depicted in high relief facing right in the central field, its elaborate plumage rendered with flowing, layered feather detail. A traditional architectural structure is visible in the left background, while tropical foliage fills the right field, lending a naturalistic composition. The denomination '$2' is inscribed in the upper portion of the field above the rooster. Designer's initials appear in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's lunar new year circulation issues have been struck annually since 1992, but the 2017 Rooster marks a quieter entry in that run — no significant mintage anomaly, no minting controversy. What gives the series its collector traction is institutional: the Monetary Authority of Singapore has consistently released these pieces in presentation folders aimed at the gifting market, meaning a substantial proportion never entered circulation at all.
