This third series of coins feature images of national icons and landmarks, replacing the floral designs of current coins. The new set also has enhanced security features such as electro magnets so they can be differentiated from fakes and foreign coins.
The designs are the work of Fabian Lim, a Singaporean designer.

ReplyDeleteDoes someone know the KM# for the cents coins? For some reason I only see the KM# for the dollar coin, but not the rest of the set. Thanks.
