| Reverse description | A stylised goat rendered in an ornate spiral motif stands in profile facing left at centre, its body composed of intricate swirling patterns in a traditional decorative style. The background is divided into four quadrants by a cross, each quadrant filled with repeating Chinese characters 未 (the Heavenly Stem-Branch character for Goat). The Chinese cyclical year characters 乙未 appear prominently in the upper portion of the field. The denomination $80 is inscribed to the lower right, with the weight and fineness legend 1 KILOGRAM 999 FINE SILVER arranged vertically along the right rim. |

Singapore's Lunar New Year bullion program has produced kilogram silver pieces since the early 2000s, but the 2015 Goat issue landed during a particularly active year for Southeast Asian silver demand — spot prices were depressed enough that institutional buyers were accumulating heavily, and MAS mintage figures for this format reflect it. The $80 face value is nominal, a legal-tender fiction that places the piece formally within Singapore's currency framework while bearing no relationship to intrinsic or collector value.
