The Board of Commissioners of Currency was a statutory body established in 1967, three years after Singapore's separation from Malaysia, to manage the new nation's note issuance independently of the still-operating Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo. Bradbury Wilkinson had printed Singapore's notes from the beginning of that independent series, and this 1977 issue falls within the Orchid series — the first coinage and banknote series fully specific to Singapore as a sovereign state.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility was acquired by De La Rue in 1990, ending a printing relationship with Singapore that had run the entire length of this series.
