The Description on the inner Pages 2 and 3 reads:

"This specially issued $10 coin commemorates the 100th birth anniversary of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. It pays tribute to his strategic vision, boldness and indomitable spirit that transformed Singapore from a regionasl trading port to a global manufacturing, business and financial hub, creating opportunities for all Singaporeans."

This description is followed by a detail of the Coin which is mentioned by me below the Obverse and Reverse of the Coin.

The Reverse of the $10 (Ten Dollars) Commemorative Coin presents a left facing effigy of LEE KUAN YEW.

The design features a portrait of Mr. Lee Kwan Yew, accompanied in the foreground by the Marina Barrage, representing Mr. Lee's vision to build a freshwater reservoin in the city, strengthening Singapore's water resilience.

The backdrop is the skyline of the Eaffles Place financial district, and two heritage buildings which have witnessed significant milestones in Singapore's history - Fullerton Hotel (formerly the Fullerton Building/General Post Office) and National Gallery Singapore (formerly the Supreme Court and City Hall).

The Obverse of the $10 (Ten Dollars) Commemorative Coin presents the Coat of Arms/Emblem of Singapore. 

The peripheral inscription on the upper periphery are - "100th BIRTH ANNIVERSARY" and on the lower periphery is his name and the Anniversary Years - "LEE KUAN YEW - 1923-2023."

On this face,a dual latent image features Mr. Lee's birth year "1923" viewed from one angle and his 100th birth anniversary "2023" viewed from another angle.
