The Board of Commissioners of Currency was Singapore's sole note-issuing authority from 1967, when the country broke from the joint currency arrangement it had shared with Malaysia and Brunei. The split required Singapore to establish its own printing relationships quickly, and Thomas De La Rue became the primary supplier for the early Orchid and Bird series issues.
The $500 denomination had real purchasing power in 1977 Singapore — roughly equivalent to several months' wages for a factory worker. High-value notes from this series circulated less than lower denominations but were also less carefully preserved when found, as they tended to move through commercial channels rather than retail hands.
P#15 carries only a watermark as its listed security feature, notably absent the security thread that would appear in later Singapore issues.
