| Reverse description | A naturalistic spray of Vanda Miss Joaquim orchids, Singapore's national flower, occupies the lower and central field in high sculptural relief, with multiple blooms and budding stems rendered in fine botanical detail. The denomination numeral 5 is prominently displayed at the top of the field, with the word DOLLARS inscribed immediately below in slightly smaller lettering. The mirror-polished proof fields provide a stark and elegant contrast to the finely frosted floral design. |
