| Reverse description | A colorized naturalistic depiction of the Dendrobium leonis orchid occupies the majority of the reverse field, showcasing the plant's distinctive fleshy, overlapping succulent-like leaves arranged in a dense cluster, with several small yellow and pink blossoms emerging from the foliage. The rendering employs vivid polychrome coloring applied to a frosted proof surface, giving the botanical subject a lifelike three-dimensional quality. The denomination '$1' appears in the left field, while the inscriptions 'DENDROBIUM LEONIS' and '999 FINE SILVER' are engraved along the upper and lower portions of the legend respectively. |

| Additional information |
Part of Singapore's long-running orchid bullion series, this issue features the Dendrobium leonis, a native species found across Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia, and Borneo. The orchid series has run in various forms since the 1990s and reflects Singapore's national flower designation — the hybrid Vanda Miss Joaquim — though individual issues frequently spotlight lesser-known native species rather than the familiar hybrid.
