Part of the Singapore Mint's ongoing Culture and Heritage series, this piece commemorates Joo Chiat, the Peranakan district in eastern Singapore whose shophouse streetscapes survived decades of urban redevelopment that erased comparable neighborhoods elsewhere on the island. The Peranakan — Straits-born Chinese — community centered there developed a hybrid material culture blending Hokkien Chinese and Malay influences, producing the distinctive architectural and decorative vocabulary the series was designed to document before living memory of it faded further.
