Singapore Mint launches SG60 National Day collection
The SG60 National Day collection, created in collaboration with the National Day Parade, features commemorative medallions, multi-functional pins and a fine gold ingot.
It includes 24K gold-plated and 999 fine silver medallions, four-piece multi-functional pin set with a free cross-body strap and one gram fine gold ingot featuring the NDP mascot August the Merlion.
Each piece was 'thoughtfully designed to embody the spirit of celebration and iconic symbols of the National Day,' the Singapore Mint said.
'Drawing inspiration from key moments and symbols that have shaped the nation's journey, the collection resonates with generations of Singaporeans, capturing the pride and unity of the occasion.'
The new collection comes after the launch of other commemorative collections such as the Singapore Botanic Gardens medallions and the first SG60 collection featuring medallions representing five historic districts.
Raffles Mint Collectibles, a branch of the Singapore Mint, also launched its own SG60 collection with a pop-culture twist.
The collection features characters like Sanrio, Peanuts and Mr Merlion showcased on 24K gold-plated keychains, gold foil frames, figurines, lifestyle accessories and blind box medallions.
Each piece, presented in batik-inspired packaging, serves as a tribute to Singapore's iconic landmarks and nostalgic moments, the Singapore Mint said.
'From Changi Airport to the Dragon Playground, global characters bring local favourites to life in one-of-a-kind SG60 designs.'
Nine-in-one souvenir sets of the Singapore Bird Series currency notes are also available.
The notes, issued between 1976 to 1984, represent Singapore's second series of circulation currency.
The collectibles are limited to mintages of 1,888 gold sets and 6,888 silver sets.
'The birds featured on these notes symbolise strength, adaptability, and independence - qualities that mirrored the young Singapore as it soared towards greater progress,' the Singapore Mint said.

Movie lovers can once again catch screenings at The Projector at Golden Mile Tower this August. On Wednesday (Jul 23), the independent cinema announced that "with the Golden Mile en bloc process now officially concluded without a transaction", it will "return to the place it all began". Founded in 2014, The Projector stopped daily screenings at Golden Mile Tower in May, turning its focus to "special and curated events", including interactive film experiences, live music showcases and corporate venue hires. It started operating from Cineleisure in December 2023 in partnership with Golden Village, replacing Cathay Cineplex. In a statement, founder Karen Tan said: 'As we reactivate Golden Mile Tower, our audiences can expect the same irreverent spirit and eclectic, culturally-driven programming they know and love, now with a refreshed energy and a deeper sense of community.' When asked about operations at its Cineleisure outlet, The Projector was unable to provide a comment. CNA Lifestyle has reached out to Golden Village for further details.

Prague's St Vitus Cathedral installing new, long-overdue pipe organ
A worker sits as he installs parts of a new organ built in El Papiol, Spain, at the workshop of world-renowned organ builder Gerhard Grenzing, in St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle, in Prague, Czech Republic, July 22, 2025. REUTERS/Eva Korinkova PRAGUE - Workers are installing more than 6,000 organ pipes to resonate through St Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle, seen as the symbolic completion of one of Europe's greatest Gothic architectural monuments after more than 700 years. Installation of the new organ began in April and is set to conclude in August, before the painstaking work of tuning the pipes begins. The new organ will be inaugurated on June 15 next year, the feast day of St Vitus. The cathedral, where construction began in 1344, kings were crowned throughout the centuries and former president Vaclav Havel's funeral mass took place, now has an organ installed from 1932, but its sound does not carry through the entire basilica. "The significance of this organ is not only liturgical and cultural, but I think it is also fundamentally social," said Vojtech Matl, a supervisory board member of the foundation established by the Catholic Church for the project. The foundation, started in 2017 to raise money for the organ, has collected more than 109 million crowns ($5.2 million) from thousands of donors, including 20,000 small donors who adopted parts of the new instrument. Spanish organ workshop Gerhard Grenzing has built the new organ, which has been delivered in smaller pieces to speed up installation. After installation, each of the pipes will need to be tuned by hand, checking its sound and strength, which according to organologist Stepan Svoboda will take until the end of the year.
