P#47A belongs to the Portrait series, which the Monetary Authority of Singapore introduced in 1999 to replace the Ship series. The 2004 date places this note in the later production run of that issue, by which point the MAS was already field-testing polymer substrates — the polymer equivalent of this denomination (P#47) was released concurrently, making the paper version a relatively short-lived parallel issue rather than the primary circulation note.
The watermark remains the principal security feature on the paper version, a notably modest specification given the period.
