The official games logo, featuring a stylised Merlion with flame and a floral emblem, appears in the upper right field alongside the inscription 'XVII SEA GAMES 93 SINGAPORE'. The denomination '$5' is incused to the lower left, and the engraver's signature 'HK CHIA' appears in the lower centre of the field. |

| Additional information |
Singapore hosted the 17th Southeast Asian Games in 1993, the first time the city-state had done so since 1983. The commemorative program accompanying those games was modest — this copper-nickel issue was the circulating-quality counterpart to a proof silver version, both struck by the Singapore Mint.
The Board of Commissioners of Currency was dissolved in 2002 when its functions merged into the Monetary Authority of Singapore, making all issues under the BCCS name historically bounded to a specific administrative period.
