1. ND (1967) Singapore 1 Dollar (P-1)

📖 History and Significance:
Following its separation from Malaysia, Singapore established the Board of Commissioners of Currency and released its first independent banknotes in 1967. This "Orchid Series" was designed to reflect the vibrant identity and rapid modernization of the new island nation. The 1 Dollar note specifically highlights the country's massive push for urban development and public housing, which became a cornerstone of Singapore's incredible economic success story.

🎨 Design Details:
The obverse features a stunning, full-color vignette of a pink orchid (specifically the Vanda 'Janet Kaneali' or similar hybrid, representing the national flower theme), alongside the Singapore Coat of Arms supported by a lion and a tiger. The reverse displays a highly detailed engraving of early Housing and Development Board (HDB) high-rise apartment blocks, symbolizing the nation's rapid modernization and commitment to housing its citizens.
