Overview

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the first series of currency issued by the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Singapore, after the country gained independence in 1965. This specific 1969 issue is notable because it was produced by both the Royal Mint in the UK and the Singapore Mint, with minor variations (milled vs. security edge) occurring in this year.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $5.00 USD (depending on condition and edge variety)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity to prevent oxidation. Avoid touching the surfaces with bare hands as skin oils can cause tarnishing over time; handle by the edges only. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or brushes as this will damage the numismatic value.
