Singapore's third series, introduced from 1984, was the first to move away from the bird series that had defined the MAS's early note program. The $5 note in this series was produced by two different printers during its run — De La Rue and Harrison & Sons — a split that can sometimes be identified by subtle differences in ink texture and registration, though both firms worked from the same approved design.
Harrison & Sons ceased banknote operations when the company was acquired and wound down in 1997, the same year this series was retired.
