The "ribbon upwards" designation distinguishes this issue from the nearly identical predecessor, where the ribbon position on the reverse crest sits marginally higher — a die modification introduced without public announcement and noticed first by collectors rather than the Authority itself. Singapore's decimal coinage series of this period was produced across multiple mints including the Singapore Mint and Royal Canadian Mint, and attributing specific year-mint combinations remains genuinely contested in the specialist literature. The variety distinction carries real premium weight in Southeast Asian collecting circles.
