| Additional information |
Singapore's first decade of independence was marked by an economic transformation so rapid — from entrepôt backwater to regional financial hub — that by 1975 the Monetary Authority had only been in existence for four years itself, having been established in 1971 to consolidate functions previously scattered across colonial-era institutions. This commemorative was part of a broader multi-denomination gold issue for the anniversary.
The .900 fineness follows a standard adopted for Singapore's early gold commemoratives before the series later shifted toward higher purities in subsequent anniversary issues.
