Different print runs.

The symbol represents the print run whereas the 2 triangles symbol indicates as fifth printing

[Coindude]

It appears to symbolize the date and or run of notes as well as a security feature.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore include symbols on the back of the notes to indicate new printings. The two triangles represent one specific printing run.

At some point in the late 2000s, the Monetary Authority of Singapore began including symbols on the back of the notes to indicate new printings. The first issue under a given signature has no symbol. The second printing has one square; the third, two squares; the fourth, one triangle; and the fifth, two triangles.

 

So, based on this, it is the fifth issue.

A: the year - 2013

 

 

Congratulations to Coindude, who is this week's winner. The answer needed to mention that it represents the date and not just the print run.

 

Thanks to everyone who participated! Have a great week, everyone!
