| Reverse description | A colourised panoramic composition depicts two landmark features of Singapore's Northern Wetlands and Central Catchment Nature Reserve. To the left, a red-roofed pavilion extends over the reservoir waters, with a dragon boat crew and a lone kayaker in the foreground. To the right, a multi-storey observation tower rises among lush greenery, with a macaque monkey seated on rocks at its base. The denomination $1 appears at the lower left of the field, and the legend NORTHERN WETLANDS & CENTRAL CATCHMENT is inscribed in stylised lettering across the lower portion of the design, with CENTRAL CATCHMENT arching along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Singapore's ongoing Nature Series, this piece commemorates the Central Catchment Nature Reserve — the largest of Singapore's four nature reserves and the remnant core of the primary rainforest that once covered the entire island. The reserve surrounds the island's main reservoirs, a relationship that became infrastructurally critical as Singapore pushed toward water self-sufficiency following its 1965 separation from Malaysia, after which Kuala Lumpur's control over Johor water supplies became a persistent political vulnerability.
