| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of Singapore's long-running Orchid series, this issue features Bulbophyllum flabellum-veneris, a Southeast Asian epiphytic orchid whose taxonomic history is considerably more complicated than most collectors realize — the species has bounced between genera multiple times since its 19th-century classification by European botanists working from herbarium specimens rather than living plants. Singapore's use of native orchid species for bullion coinage reflects deliberate policy decisions made in the 1990s to differentiate its numismatic program from generic wildlife issues flooding the market at the time.
