The T-shirts have messages like: “Let’s Ride the Next Wave” and “Our Vibrant Culture,” and are perfect for showing off Singapore’s colours at any of the celebrations (red and white, of course). And since there are five to choose from, they are also great gifts for friends and family.

The coin coasters come in a set of four, so there is no need for your mah-jong buddies to fight over these auspicious mascots to start a game.

The Singapore Mint

The images on the $2 cupro-nickel coin depict students learning in different ways before the background of the Bukit Panjang Government High School.

The coins are beautifully designed and come in a special case to easily display in your home.

Each has a special monogram to remember the party: “Limited Edition Singapore Jubilee 2015.” Only 38 of these are available worldwide, so act fast if you want to bring home this exclusive souvenir.
