| Additional information |
Singapore's Monetary Authority issued this kilo piece as part of its Lunar Series tied to the Chinese zodiac cycle — a program that has run continuously since the late 1990s and targets collector demand across Southeast Asia and the Chinese diaspora. The dragon year issues consistently command premiums above other zodiac entries in the series, a pattern that holds across virtually every issuing authority running a parallel lunar program.
The 2012 cycle marked the Year of the Water Dragon, the rarest elemental-zodiac pairing in the 60-year Chinese calendar, occurring only once per sexagenary cycle.
