| Reverse description | A swordfish (Xiphias gladius) rendered in fine detail occupies the central field, depicted in profile with its characteristic elongated rostrum pointing to the left. The figure is set against a stylised background of horizontal wavy lines symbolising water, conveying the maritime identity of Singapore. The composition is clean and modernist in style, consistent with the design approach of engraver Stuart Devlin, with the fish positioned dynamically against the striated aquatic ground. |
