so get a pebble and going today this is a Glen and this is blue MIDI coins and
banknotes today I'm gonna bring you the first coins of Singapore nowadays issued
in 1967 after Singapore was kicked out at the Malayan or Malaysian Federation
and though this issue here was issued into 1985 or minted suicide and they
were replaced with his second version the second series here and these were
replaced in 2013 with a third version for those later so as you can see the
obverse of these coins pretty much the same just at the denomination and the
date in the country so here we have the one dollar it's a one dollar his weight
on the side Singapore in the date up top all these copper nickel coins are milled
but I'll show you those at the end okay this one here was Bronze Star birdee
1976 they were issued in copper-clad steel can you see not be able to this
this one these are actually clad no it's not gonna focus all right you can see
there now this part you can see a cladding day
fingers got hang on okay and this copper nickel coin was issued in copper nickel
clad steel from 1989 84 then mint sets this one's issued as copper nickel and
this one's still issued as bronze so on the reverse side we have different
images each coin has a unique in different design okay the one cent has
high-rise building and a fountain and has clouds in the background
five cent as the Oriental data which is a birder occurs you know like wetlands
around that region I mean because Singapore is pretty small pretty
integrated with the Malayan pancha has no endemic species itself KD Tencent has
the crown seahorse hippocampus Cora natus looks like good I quite like
seahorses they beautiful type of fish quite unique actually see this one he's
grabbing on to a seaweed or another pot plant and that's how it stops itself
from being washed away by currents in the ocean because they were swimming
ability is pretty poor and also they camouflage quite well within the seaweed
okay the $0.20 has the swordfish there's a common fish in the Atlantic and
Pacific mmm probably also common around Malaysia and Singapore as well now I
heard they're very tough fish to catch this one has waves in the background to
see me like a fish flowing on top of the water and I'm actually something flying
on top of the water okay the last two coins the 50 cent has
a lionfish the genius said potatoes potatoes potato
I see that's a genius there are different species occurring in different
places generally how it works is a species that occupy the same niche do
not occur in the same place this one lives on the bottom and is a hundred
grand of a species of stone lionfish will not actually be in the same area
good yeah that's debatable my different species they had the same type of
hunting strategy can live in the same area if their density is not that high
anyway this is a coin Channel know biology channel okay
now this one has a stone lion no you finger mandarins called CC on named stud
this has a Merline but obviously this is not a moon line the moon line has a the
body of a fish in the head of a line and that is actually the one of the symbols
of Singapore so this is just a protectant protection line that occurs
in Chinese mythology and it's also dr. by countries around the place like Korea
Japan Vietnam Thailand Burma as well to some degree bottom Elaine so here I have
two coins on this side and as you can see the 1 cent which is here it's a
plane then the rest of the coins five to one dollar arm yield and it's a
current case with the 10 and 20 cent coin is still milder ok now all these
coins were circulated like those coins were to circulate that would have been
common going currency but this coin is quite big in they also had a banknote as
well so see how how could this have actually circulated not so probably
initially did because the mintages are high but in the end this coin was
actually not as popular as the banknote okay so thank you very much for watching
my video if you like these coins please give it a thumbs up and if you each
