Overview

A scalloped (octagonally shaped) gold-colored coin featuring the Singapore Coat of Arms on one side and a Periwinkle flower on the other.

Historical significance

This coin is part of the second series of Singaporean circulation coins, known as the 'Floral Series,' which was introduced in 1985 to replace the earlier 'Marine Series' and celebrate Singapore's identity as a Garden City.

Obverse (front)

The Singapore Coat of Arms (Escutcheon featuring a lion and tiger) in the center, surrounded by the word 'SINGAPORE' in the four official languages (English, Malay, Chinese, and Tamil) and the year 1994.

Reverse (back)

The center features the Lochnera rosea (Periwinkle flower), with the denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' at the top and '$1' at the bottom.

Estimated value

$0.75 - $1.00 (Face Value) in circulated condition; $2.00 - $5.00 in uncirculated state.

What drives this coin's value

Primarily influenced by condition. While millions were made, high-grade uncirculated examples are preferred by collectors.

Grade assessment

Fine/Very Fine - Significant wear on high points, loss of original luster, and visible scratches/dings on both surfaces.

Mintage & rarity

Common; mintage for 1994 was approximately 35,000,000.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check the edge lettering; it should be crisp. Verify the weight (6.3g) as counterfeits are often lighter steel-based alloys.

Notable varieties & errors

No major die varieties for 1994, though strike quality can vary significantly.

Similar coins

Often confused with the newer 3rd series (2013-present) 1 Dollar coin which is bi-metallic (silver/gold colored).

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing as the abrasive chemicals can damage the aluminum-bronze finish and reduce numismatic value.
