| Obverse lettering | SINGAPURA சிங்கப்பூர் 新加坡 2023 SINGAPORE (Translation: Singapore) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a rabbit in full stride across a rocky outcrop, rendered with naturalistic texture and positioned centrally within the rectangular field. Lush tropical foliage, including palm fronds and broad-leafed plants, frames the scene to the left and lower right, evoking a distinctly Singaporean landscape. In the background to the left, a modernist architectural structure is visible, while to the right a spiral walkway typical of Singapore's urban landmarks rises into the upper field. The denomination '$80' is prominently displayed to the lower left, while the legend '1 KILOGRAM 999 FINE SILVER' is inscribed along the upper border of the field. The composition celebrates the Chinese zodiac Year of the Rabbit within a contemporary Singaporean context. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Monetary Authority issued this kilo silver piece as part of its long-running Lunar Series, timed to the Year of the Rabbit beginning January 2023. The rabbit holds particular significance in the Chinese zodiac as a symbol of longevity and diplomacy — qualities the city-state has consistently projected in its foreign economic policy since independence. Production runs for these issues are tightly controlled, with mintages typically in the low hundreds, making secondary-market attrition meaningful even within the first release year.
