Overview

A small, gold-colored coin featuring a Monstera plant on the reverse and the Singapore coat of arms on the obverse.

Historical significance

Part of Singapore's second series of coins, known as the Floral Series, which replaced the Marine Series in 1985 to showcase local flora. This series circulated throughout Singapore's rapid economic growth periods in the late 20th century.

Obverse (front)

The National Coat of Arms of Singapore in the center, surrounded by the word 'SINGAPORE' in the four official languages (English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil). The year 1995 is likely at the bottom.

Reverse (back)

Features the Monstera deliciosa (Fruit Salad Plant) leaves with 'FIVE CENTS' at the top and the numeral '5' at the bottom.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $0.10 in circulated condition; $1.00 - $3.00 in high-grade Mint State.

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. Most circulated examples carry very little premium over face value except to collectors filling out a series.

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine; shows significant wear on high points and surface toning/dirt.

Mintage & rarity

High mintage; very common.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Authentic coins have sharp details in the coat of arms and a distinct reeded edge. Check weight (1.56g) as counterfeits of low denomination coins are rare but usually made of cheaper, lighter metals.

Notable varieties & errors

No major rare varieties are widely recognized for this specific year; however, slight die shifts can occur.

Similar coins

Often confused with the First Series 5 cents (Marine Series) which features a bird, or the current Third Series (Bird-of-Paradise) which is smaller and made of plated steel.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges; avoid cleaning with abrasives as aluminum-bronze develops a protective patina. Store in a cool, dry environment.
