The micro-text above the word "SINGAPORE" in the four official languages is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE" in micro-print.

The optical variable device (octagonal foil) retains the denomination numeral but has two new symbols, namely the MAS logo and the Singapore Lion symbol.

The issuing authority has been updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE".

The denomination numeral on the front of the note is filled with the letters "MAS" in micro -print.

The Singapore Lion symbol is retained in the latent image. The other image is updated to the MAS logo.

The micro-text within the lithographic print of the numeral "50" is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE" in micro-print.
