Soft purple polymer places Yusof bin Ishak before Singapore’s education story, linking national leadership with the classrooms and institutions that shaped the republic.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse is anchored by the portrait of Yusof bin Ishak, Singapore’s first president, with the coat of arms in the transparent window and multilingual national text across the upper field. The polymer layout is calm and precise, using portraiture, official language and security windows to present civic authority through a modern Monetary Authority of Singapore design.

Reverse

The reverse develops the Education theme through Victoria Bridge School, the Old Raffles Institution at Bras Basah Road, and College of Medicine buildings, with a teacher and students gathered in the foreground. Rather than treating education as an abstract ideal, the design gives it architectural and human form, linking national development with schools, learning and institutional continuity.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 2 Dollars note belongs to Singapore’s long-running polymer Portrait Series and the P-46o variety is distinguished by the Tharman Shanmugaratnam signature and two solid houses below the word EDUCATION on the reverse. The polymer windows with the Singapore coat of arms and numeral 2, Yusof bin Ishak shadow image watermark and island-shaped security thread give the note clear technical markers, while the coded reverse symbols make this series especially precise for variety-based collecting.
