| Additional information |
Part of Singapore's long-running Orchid series, this issue takes its subject from a lowland epiphytic orchid native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in Singapore's botanical collections. The Singapore Mint has sustained this series across multiple decades, issuing pieces tied to orchid species with genuine horticultural and national significance — the orchid being Singapore's designated national flower by proclamation in 1981.
KM#423 is a relatively low-mintage collector piece with no circulation history.
