Singapore Lunar Silver: frequently asked questions
-
Singapore Lunar coins are an annual zodiac series produced by the Singapore Mint, running since 1981 and now in its Fourth Series (2017-2028). Each year features the relevant Chinese zodiac animal; in the current Fourth Series, the animal is set against a Singapore landmark. Silver versions are struck in .999 fine silver and are produced in multiple weights. Modern issues from around 2021 feature a distinctive octagonal shape, a culturally significant form in Chinese tradition representing balance and harmony.

Singapore Lunar silver coins are not legal tender in the UK, so they do not carry the CGT exemption that applies to UK legal-tender coins like the Britannia. UK investors pay between 18% and 24% on gains, with a £3,000 annual allowance. In Canada, 50% of any capital gain is included in taxable income. US investors are subject to a collectibles rate of up to 28%.
