| Reverse description | A highly detailed, finely sculpted Chinese dragon in traditional style occupies the majority of the reverse field, depicted in dynamic three-quarter view with open jaws, flowing mane, and prominent scaled body. In the background, the iconic Supertree Grove structures of Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, rise above the dragon, referencing the modern cityscape. The denomination '$5' is prominently inscribed at the upper centre, with the legend '1 TROY OZ 999 FINE SILVER' arching above it along the upper edge of the octagonal flan. |

| Additional information |
Singapore has issued lunar new year coins continuously since 1967, making its series one of the longest-running of any sovereign mint. The Dragon cycle — completing its fifth full rotation in the Singapore program — reliably draws the heaviest pre-issue demand of the twelve animals, a pattern consistent across nearly every mint worldwide that produces lunar coinage.
KM#524 is a bullion-adjacent issue rather than a pure proof collector piece, placing it in a crowded market against Perth, Royal Canadian Mint, and PAMP products chasing the same buyer.
