The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Launches the Singapore 46 Years of Independence Coins on 13 July 2011. The coin design draws inspiration from the 2011 National Day Parade (NDP) theme, ‘Majulah! The Singapore Spirit’. The official NDP 2011 logo is at the upper centre of the coin, while a mosaic formation of Singapore’s coastline by performers holding coloured cards on the floating platform occupies the bottom half of the coin. “The Singapore Spirit” tagline for the 2011 NDP theme runs across the mosaic formation. The diversity of people celebrating is depicted through human silhouettes at the centre of the coin. The newly opened Helix Bridge and the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre are also incorporated in the design to portray the NDP venue surroundings.
The Silver Proof coin comes in a unique octagonal shape, the first of its kind in Singapore. The obverse of the coin bears the Singapore Arms with the year-date 2011. 31.10 grams of 999 fine silver with full colour application. Coin across corner size of 40.70mm. Mintage of 5,000 pieces.
