The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed in bold lettering in the upper field above the vessel. The designer's initials WL, denoting William Lee, appear to the right of the ship in the lower field.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Issued to mark the first decade of Singaporean independence, this was among the earliest silver commemorative coins produced directly by the Singapore Mint following its establishment in 1968 — a facility built specifically so the young nation would not depend on foreign mints for its coinage. The .500 fineness is a deliberate half-silver alloy rather than the .925 or .999 standards common to prestige commemoratives, a cost-conscious choice reflecting the economic pragmatism that defined Singapore's early monetary policy under the Board of Commissioners of Currency.
