Singapore's Board of Commissioners of Currency was a transitional authority — established in 1967 after separation from Malaysia to issue currency independent of the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo. By 1991 it was in its final years; the Monetary Authority of Singapore absorbed its currency-issuing functions in 2002. This note belongs to the third and last series the BCCS would ever produce.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement with Singapore's currency ran continuously from independence through this series, an unusually long unbroken contract for the region. The watermark remains the sole security feature listed — modest by the standards of what De La Rue was producing for other clients at the time.
