| Additional information |
Part of Singapore's long-running Orchid series, this issue features the Dendrobium secundum, a species native to Southeast Asia commonly called the toothbrush orchid for the way its flowers align along a single side of the stem. The Singapore Mint has used native orchid species as coin subjects since the 1990s, a program that tracks closely with the country's internationally recognized horticultural diplomacy — Singapore has named hybrid orchids after dozens of foreign dignitaries visiting the Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.
