Banknote Billet Singapore 2 dollars 2013-2024

The Singapore 2 dollar banknote, belonging to the Education series, was issued over the period spanning from 2013 to 2024 and is part of the HB series. It is a legal tender banknote within the Republic of Singapore, issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The Education series takes its name from the central theme adorning the obverse of the banknote, paying tribute to the Singaporean education system, a fundamental pillar of the nation's development since its independence. This series represents one of the most iconic issues of contemporary Singaporean fiat currency, reflecting the country's national values and priorities.

The 2 dollar banknote is distinguished by its predominant purple colour, a characteristic specific to this denomination within the series. The obverse features the portrait of Singapore's first President, Yusof bin Ishak, an iconic figure on modern Singaporean banknotes. The reverse depicts representations related to the theme of education, illustrating children in learning environments as well as architectural elements associated with the country's educational institutions.

The HB series refers to the serial number prefix specific to this issue, enabling the identification and traceability of banknotes within the overall production. This series is part of the continuity of Singapore's monetary policy aimed at maintaining high-quality banknotes incorporating modern security features, such as security threads, watermarks and intaglio printing elements.
