| Opmerkingen |
Singapore's Board of Commissioners of Currency was established in 1967 following the collapse of the Currency Interchangeability Agreement with Malaysia and Brunei — a political rupture that forced the new city-state to issue its own currency faster than anyone had planned. This Bradbury Wilkinson series was the direct result. The note circulated across four signature combinations reflecting rapid ministerial turnover at the currency authority, with Lim Kim San, Goh Keng Swee, and Hon Sui Sen each holding the chairmanship in succession during a period of aggressive economic restructuring.
The red seal variants command a modest premium over the plain signature versions. Hon Sui Sen's appearance in both formats is a collecting oddity specific to this denomination.
