Aluminum-bronze coin, Singapore 1 Dollar featuring the Lion Fish design

The Singapore 1 Dollar coin was first introduced in 1987 as part of the nation's second series of circulation coins. The reverse features the distinctive Lion Fish, a symbolic marine creature representing Singapore's maritime heritage and tropical environment. The obverse displays the Singapore coat of arms with the inscription 'SINGAPURA' and the year of minting. This coin is popular among collectors of Southeast Asian numismatics and those interested in modern world coins. The Lion Fish design is particularly appealing for its artistic representation and cultural significance. Collectors value these coins for their affordable entry point into Singapore numismatics and their connection to the island nation's identity and natural heritage.
