Comment
This is the first issue of the Singapore Mint's Lunar Third Series, and the second of the smallest gold coin released as legal tender. The carded one dollar gold coin design was continued until the end of this series, with the final coin released in 2016 when the series was concluded. No further one dollar gold denomination was issued for the Lunar Fourth Series.The 2003 Lunar Goat was struck in various metal which included copper-nickel, silver and gold. Gold coins were issued in $1, $5, $100 and $200 denominations. Silver coins were issued as proofs in $2, $10 and $25, with the $10 coin being coloured. The sole copper-nickel coin was proof-like in $2 denomination.
The coin was first released on the 29th December 2004 with an issue price of S$38.70. All were packaged in a credit-card-sized yellow-colour hard plastic card, as shown below. The specifications on the card listed the expected mintage as 8,000. However actual mintage released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) was just 2,817 coins.
