| Reverse description | A boldly rendered tiger in a crouching, forward-leaning posture dominates the central field, its body rendered with fine line engraving to suggest striped fur. Behind the tiger, a decorative latticed panel bears repeated renditions of the Chinese character 寅 (Tiger), framing the main motif. The two Chinese cyclical characters 庚 and 寅, representing the sexagenary year 庚寅 (gēng yín), appear at lower left and lower right respectively. The denomination $25 is inscribed at the top of the field, while the legend 5 TROY OZ 999 FINE SILVER is engraved along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar Series coins are struck by the Singapore Mint under authorization of the MAS, and the 2010 Tiger issue falls in the second cycle of the twelve-year series — the first cycle having launched in 1998. The five-ounce format was introduced specifically to anchor the high end of each year's tiered release, sitting above the smaller one-ounce and fractional pieces issued simultaneously. Mintages for these large-format silver Lunar pieces were tightly capped, and secondary market premiums have historically held firm on the five-ounce tier more than any other in the series.
