| Beschrijving voorzijde | Executed in orange, red, and brown tones on a polymer substrate, the obverse centres on a window portrait of Singapore's first President Yusof bin Ishak, with the transparent polymer window forming an integral security element. Flanking the portrait are contrasting vignettes of the Singapore harbour in its historical form to the left and its modern skyline to the right. Denomination and issuer inscriptions are arranged around the central composition, with a legal tender legend rendered in English. |

Issued to mark Singapore's 25th year of independence, this commemorative note holds a specific technical distinction: it was one of the earliest polymer banknotes produced for a Southeast Asian issuer, and among the first to demonstrate that the substrate could carry commemorative rather than purely functional currency. Note Printing Australia had only recently commercialized the Guardian polymer platform, and Singapore's adoption of it for a commemorative piece was a deliberate signal of confidence in the technology.
The transparent window — integrated into the polymer substrate rather than inserted as a security patch — was still a novelty in 1990, and its clean execution here helped establish the format's credibility with other central banks watching closely.
