Interesting fact
The Dendrobium Singa Mas coin, released in 2011, is a unique coin from Singapore that features a rare and beautiful orchid species, Dendrobium Singa Mas, on its reverse side. This coin is not only visually stunning but also has a fascinating fact associated with it. Did you know that the Dendrobium Singa Mas orchid is actually a hybrid species, created by crossing two other orchid species, Dendrobium cuthbertsonii and Dendrobium formosanum? This hybridization process was done by a Singaporean orchid breeder, Mr. Herman Ho, who named the new species after the country's name, "Singa Mas," which means "Lion City" in Malay. This coin not only showcases the beauty of the Dendrobium Singa Mas orchid but also highlights Singapore's rich cultural heritage and passion for orchid breeding. It's a true masterpiece that combines art, nature, and history in a single coin.
