DEFINITION

Noun

Refers to metal coins, so named because they are primarily silver (“银”) in colour.

由来
  • 自独立以来，新加坡的银角可分为三个系列。第一系列的银角发行于1967至1985年，在设计方面继承了英国殖民地的特色。第二系列的银角发行于1985年至2013年，在设计方面以本地的花卉植物为主。第三系列的银角发行于2013年至今，在设计方面以本地著名地标为主。
  • 第一和第二系列的银角分为六种: 一分钱、五分钱、一毛钱、两毛钱、五毛钱及一块钱。
  • 由于一分钱面额在本地不常使用,新加坡金融管理局 (Monetary Authority of Singapore) 于2002年4月1日停止发行一分钱银角。第三系列的银角因此未有一分钱面额。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Since Singapore’s independence, three series of coins have been introduced. The first series, issued between 1967 and 1985, inherited the design characteristics of the British colonies. The second series was issued between 1985 and 2013, with designs based mainly on local flora. The third series, introduced in 2013, features local landmarks.
  • The first and second series consisted of six denominations: one cent, five cents, ten cents, twenty cents, fifty cents and one dollar.
  • As one-cent coins were not frequently used, the Monetary Authority of Singapore stopped issuing them on 1 April 2002. The third series of coins has no one-cent coin.
