Comment
One of the very few standard bullion round that represents the Republic of Singapore, this Merlion silver round features the famous landmark of Singapore (the Merlion statue) and the national flower of the country (the Orchid). Depending where the round was minted, the reverse will have the refinery mintmark of Sichuan Tianze Precious Metals, Republic Metals Corporation or Asahi Refining.
