| Reverse description | The reverse features a vibrant full-color depiction of a crouching Bengal tiger rendered in orange and black, occupying the central field in a powerful, alert pose with its gaze directed toward the viewer. The background, rendered in uncolored relief, depicts a traditional Chinese temple gateway to the left and ornate architectural elements suggestive of Singapore's multicultural heritage to the right, evoking a scenic landscape setting. The legend '1 TROY OZ 999 FINE SILVER' arches along the upper border, while the denomination '$5' appears in the lower field below the tiger motif. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar Series has been issued continuously since the 1980s, making it one of the longer-running bullion programs in Southeast Asia. The 2022 Tiger issue falls in the fourth cycle of the twelve-year series — meaning Singapore had already struck a Tiger coin in 1986, 1998, and 2010 before this iteration.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore functions simultaneously as central bank and financial regulator, an arrangement dating to its founding in 1971, one year before Singapore issued its first independent coinage series.
