| Reverse description | A large, naturalistically rendered Periwinkle flower (Lochnera rosea, also known as Catharanthus roseus) occupies the centre of the field, depicted in full bloom with five rounded petals and prominent foliage. Four smaller Periwinkle blossoms are positioned symmetrically in the corners of the design, enhancing the botanical composition. The legend 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed in arched form above the central flower, and the denomination '$1' appears in the lower field below it. The overall design is executed in high relief, characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Additional information |
Singapore's Monetary Authority began issuing sterling silver proof versions of the dollar in the late 1980s as collector demand for precious metal strikes grew across Southeast Asian numismatic markets. These were never intended for circulation — produced specifically for annual proof sets, they saw no monetary use whatsoever.
KM#54c spans a five-year window that includes Singapore's rapid transition into one of Asia's dominant financial centers, though the coin's existence owes nothing to policy and everything to the mint's expanding collector program of that decade.
