This National Day will be different from what we have been used to annually due to the global pandemic. However, this is a good time when we as Singaporeans can all unite and stand together!#SGUnited To lighten up the spirits and join in the celebrations, we have specially curated a promotion to celebrate Singapore’s 55th Birthday! Let’s have a look at one of the featured products; the iconic 1965-1975 Singapore Mint 10th Anniversary of Independence Gold Coins Set.
To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the Republic of Singapore on 9th August 1975, the Board of Commissioners of Currency Singapore made a special issue of 3 legal tender gold coins, released on 3rd February 1975.
The Gold coins are set in 900 fineness and are in denominations of $100, $250 and $500 respectively. The coin obverse bears the Republic Coat of Arms with the figures “1965-1975” and encircled by the words “10th Anniversary- Republic of Singapore”. The coins were struck by the Singapore Mint, a division of Chartered Industries of Singapore Pte Ltd.

This coin set is perfect for history enthusiasts or Singaporeans who want to relive part of Singapore growing years.

These rare coins will not only add beauty and value to any coin collection but also own a part of Singapore’s history!
