| Reverse description | A boldly rendered ox stands in a dynamic forward-facing posture at the centre of the field, its muscular form highlighted against a lightly engraved background of bamboo and floral motifs evoking the Lunar New Year tradition. The composition celebrates the Year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The denomination $200 is inscribed in the lower field below the ox. The legend 5 TROY OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD arcs along the upper rim, attesting to the coin's bullion specifications. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar Series bullion issues have long tracked the Chinese zodiac cycle, but the 2021 Ox year landed during the global supply crunch that followed pandemic-era refinery shutdowns — driving premiums on five-ounce gold pieces well above their already-substantial melt value. The Singapore Mint's Lunar coins are produced in strictly controlled mintages, and the 2021 issue was no exception, with allocations largely absorbed by regional collectors before wider distribution channels could be supplied.
