| Reverse description | A stylised dog rendered in high relief stands in profile facing left at centre, with a curled tail and a decorative floral motif on its flank, set against a background field densely patterned with repeated Chinese seal-script characters '戌' (the eleventh Earthly Branch, representing the Dog). A geometric framework of horizontal and vertical lines divides the field into sections. The Chinese cyclical year designation '丙戌' appears in the upper left field, while the denomination '$200' is prominently inscribed above the dog figure. The legend '5 TROY OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD' curves along the upper right rim. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar series gold kilobar-format pieces were produced in strict limited mintages aimed squarely at the regional collector market, where Year of the Dog issues have historically commanded premiums well above comparable Western lunar programs. The .9999 fineness — four nines — became a deliberate commercial differentiator for the Singapore Mint against Hong Kong competition during this period.
At 155.52 grams, this is a 5-troy-ounce piece.
