| 备注 |
The Board of Commissioners of Currency Singapore was a standalone statutory body responsible for note issuance from 1967 until 2002, when its functions were absorbed into the Monetary Authority of Singapore. This 1999 issue falls within the final years of that arrangement — notes continued to circulate freely after the merger, remaining legal tender, but no new BCCS series followed.
P#42 belongs to the Ship series, Singapore's longest-running definitive note family, introduced in 1984. By 1999 the series was well into its mature phase, and security provisions on these later printings remain relatively modest compared to contemporary regional issues.
