| Obverse description | The Singapore state arms are centered in the field, depicting a lion passant and crescent moon above five stars on a shield, flanked by a lion and a tiger as supporters. The national name appears in a four-language legend surrounding the emblem — in English ('SINGAPORE'), Malay ('SINGAPURA'), Tamil ('சிங்கப்பூர்'), and Chinese ('新加坡') — arranged on the four sides. The year of issue '2016' is inscribed below the arms. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Lunar Series bullion issues at the kilogram scale are produced in strictly controlled mintages, and the 2016 monkey entry was no exception — limited to 999 pieces, a figure chosen deliberately to mirror the metal's fineness. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has administered these releases since the series began, treating them as collector instruments rather than circulation issues; the $80 face value is nominal by any practical measure against spot alone.
