| Obverse description | At centre, the large numeral denomination '$1' is displayed prominently in the field, flanked on the left by two upright stalks of paddy whose heads curve inward toward the denomination. The date and issuer name 'SINGAPORE' are inscribed in bold Latin lettering around the upper and right periphery respectively, with the date reading '1981' at the top. The lower portion of the field features a stylised wave motif beneath the paddy stalks. The overall design is rendered in a bold, modernist graphic style characteristic of Stuart Devlin's work for Singapore's first decimal coinage series. |

| Reverse description | At centre, a stylised lion's head symbol — the Merlion emblem of Singapore — faces right, rendered in a bold heraldic graphic style. The lion device is flanked symmetrically on both sides by upright stalks of paddy, their heads curving inward to frame the central motif. The field is otherwise plain, with no peripheral legend or inscription, allowing the national emblem and paddy stalks to dominate the design. The composition reflects Singapore's post-independence national iconography, combining the lion symbol of statehood with paddy stalks representing agricultural heritage and prosperity. |
