| Additional information |
Issued as part of Singapore's ongoing commemorative dollar program marking urban redevelopment projects, this piece records two reclaimed land areas on the northeastern coast — Punggol Point and Coney Island — before large-scale development transformed them. Coney Island, known locally as Pulau Serangoon, was privately owned by the Haw Par Brothers until the 1970s and long served as a recreational retreat before the Singapore government acquired it.
The Punggol district itself was a fishing village well into the late twentieth century, earmarked for comprehensive new town development under the 1996 Punggol 21 masterplan.
