Singapore 40 Years of Independence Commemorative $2 Coin

On 5 July 2005, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) launched a set of S$2 Silver Proof coins to commemorate Singapore's 40 years of independence.  The commemorative coins celebrate our nation-building, the indomitable spirit of our citizens to strive for success despite tough challenges, and our unity as a multi-racial society.

Coin Design:

The coin design features the official National Day Parade (NDP) 2005 logo representing a nation's aspirations and confidence as Singaporeans shape their future together.  This is the first time that the NDP logo is featured on a Singapore commemorative coin.

The four major races, Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian, are represented by four stylized dancers in their traditional costumes, performing together in graceful harmony.  In the background is City Hall, the venue for the 2005 National Day Parade.  A burst of fireworks above the landmark completes the celebratory mood.  The phrase "40 Years of Independence" aptly records this important milestone. The obverse of the coin bears the Singapore Arms with the year-date 2005.
