| Obverse description | At left, the National Crest of Papua New Guinea — a stylised Bird of Paradise perched atop a Kundu drum and spear — appears alongside the APEC 2018 Papua New Guinea logo, with a vignette of the Parliament House in Port Moresby occupying the central field. A clear polymer window below the crest incorporates the Bank of Papua New Guinea logo vignette, while a G-Switch™ colour-shifting security element at right is accompanied by a see-through register of two Birds of Paradise — one in full flight, one seated in a nest. |

| Comments |
Papua New Guinea hosted APEC in 2018 — only the second time the summit had been held in a Pacific Island nation — and the Bank of Papua New Guinea issued this commemorative polymer note to mark the occasion. NPA's involvement is routine for the region, but the timing gave this note a specific political weight: the Port Moresby summit ended without a leaders' declaration for the first time in APEC's history, a direct result of the US-China trade dispute deadlock.
Commemorative issue, not intended for general circulation, though some entered it regardless.
