The 1973 Singapore 5 Dollars coin was issued to commemorate the 7th Southeast Asian Peninsular (SEAP) Games, hosted in Singapore. These games, now known as the Southeast Asian Games, were a major regional sporting event promoting unity and friendly competition among Southeast Asian nations.
The obverse features the Singapore national coat of arms, displaying a shield supported by a lion and a tiger, symbolising Singapore and its historical ties to the region. Beneath the shield is the national motto "MAJULAH SINGAPURA" (Onward Singapore), with the inscription "REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE" and the date 1973 completing the design.
The reverse highlights the 7th SEAP Games emblem, incorporating athletic symbolism and the Olympic-style rings motif associated with the regional games. The denomination "5 DOLLARS" appears alongside the commemorative inscription, marking the coin's connection to this important sporting event.
Struck in silver, this coin was issued as a commemorative piece and is part of a broader series celebrating Singapore's growing role in international sport during the early years following independence. Today, it remains popular with collectors of world commemorative coins and Olympic-themed numismatics.
