Two stalks of paddy frame the central denomination, curving inward from either side in a symmetrical arrangement. The date and the legend 'SINGAPORE' arc around the upper periphery of the coin, with the date positioned at the upper left and the country name continuing to the right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a crowned seahorse (Hippocampus coronatus) positioned prominently in the center of the field, facing left with its characteristic curled tail extending downward. The creature's ornate cranial coronet, segmented body plates, and elongated snout are rendered with fine sculptural precision, conveying the distinctive morphology of the species. Aquatic vegetation and flowing fronds fill the background field, lending the composition a sense of marine environment. The design occupies nearly the full flan, extending close to the raised rim, in the characteristically bold and naturalistic style associated with the engraver Stuart Devlin. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
