| Additional information |
Singapore's Monetary Authority has issued lunar series coins for decades, but the kilogram silver format represents the upper tier of that program — produced in strictly limited quantities and sold directly to collectors at issuance. The Year of the Rat holds particular weight in the twelve-year cycle: it opens the sequence, and 2020 marked the first Rat year since 2008, the year the global financial crisis accelerated.
KM#488 is a single-issue type with no die varieties of note.
