| Obverse description | Central field features the Arms of Singapore — a shield flanked by a lion and a tiger as supporters, with a crescent and five stars above, and a legend surrounding the emblem in the four official languages of Singapore. The date 1988 appears beneath the central emblem. The word 'SINGAPORE' is inscribed in English at the base, with equivalent inscriptions in Tamil, Chinese, and Malay arranged around the shield, reflecting Singapore's multilingual national identity. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed, sinuous Chinese dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its scaled body coiling dynamically across the face of the coin. The dragon faces right, mouth open, pursuing a flaming pearl depicted in the lower right of the field. To the right, two large Chinese characters '戊辰' — denoting the cyclical year of the Earth Dragon in the traditional Chinese sexagenary calendar — are boldly rendered in the field. The denomination '500 DOLLARS' arches along the upper legend within a border of raised beads, while the inscription 'HALF OUNCE FINE GOLD' appears in the lower exergue, also within the beaded border. |
