The Singapore Mint proudly presents the Gram Gold Collection which features uniquely shaped 1 Gram 999 Fine Gold Ingots. With 24 designs to be issued over a year, it is ideal for display, monthly gold accumulation, collecting or gifting.
The inaugural release of the first 3 designs includes Merlion, Orchid and Pineapple.
Merlion
With the head of a lion and the body of a fish, the Merlion is an iconic symbol of Singapore. The fish-like body symbolises Singapore’s origin as a fishing village, while the lion head represents the city's original name, Singapura, which means "lion city" in Sanskrit.
Orchid
The Orchid - Vanda Miss Joaquim was chosen as the National Flower for its resilience and year-round blooming quality. It was recorded as Singapore’s first orchid hybrid and the world’s first Vanda hybrid.
Pineapple
In Hokkien, a Chinese dialect, pineapples are called "旺来," symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. This association is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and practices.
