The tiger is shown in a low, powerful stance facing the viewer with its forelegs extended forward, conveying strength and alertness, evoking the Chinese zodiac Year of the Tiger. The legend '1 GRAM 999.9 FINE GOLD' is inscribed in the upper portion of the field, while the denomination '$5' appears in bold relief at the lower portion beneath the tiger motif. |

| Additional information |
Part of Singapore's long-running Lunar Series, this issue marks the Year of the Tiger — the third animal in the twelve-year cycle and the first Lunar year to fall under Singapore's post-pandemic economic recovery push. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has produced gold Lunar issues in fractional weights since the 1990s, with the 1-gram denomination serving the retail gift market rather than the collector mainstream. Surviving examples rarely show handling wear simply because buyers tend to leave them in original packaging.
