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.
