Additional information

Singapore hosted the 12th Southeast Asian Games in 1983, the first time the country had done so since the Games were formally restructured under the new SEA Games Federation in 1977. The event marked a significant organizational moment for regional sport, consolidating what had previously been the SEAP Games under a broader membership.

KM#25a denotes the sterling silver issue; a copper-nickel counterpart was struck for circulation. The silver version was produced for collectors and saw minimal handling.
