PMG Offers Label for Singapore Bicentennial Notes

Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) is offering a special label for the 2019 $20 commemorative notes that Singapore is issuing to celebrate its bicentennial.

Note: This special label will be available by request for no additional fee until December 31, 2019. After that date, it will be available for a $5 (USD) fee per note.

Modern-day Singapore traces its roots to the establishment of a British port in 1819. That trading post grew into an international business hub with a population of more than 5 million, a nation that today has a gross domestic product per capita that is among the highest in the world.

The front of the note shows Yusof Ishak, who served as the first president of Singapore from 1965 (when it separated from Malaysia) until his death in 1970. At the center of the note is the National Gallery Singapore, an art museum whose complex previously housed the Supreme Court Building and City Hall.

The back of the note shows eight pioneers who made significant contributions to Singapore's history, including Munshi Abdullah, a writer who moved to Singapore in 1819. A vintage view of Singapore is shown in the foreground, contrasting with modern skyscrapers situated toward the horizon.

The special PMG label celebrates these notes by showing a modern Singapore cityscape. This label is available at no additional fee for a limited time, provided notes are submitted according to the special submission instructions below.
