| Obverse description | The Singapore state arms are depicted centrally in the field, featuring a lion passant and crescent moon above five stars within a shield, flanked by a lion and tiger as supporters. The date 2005 appears below the arms in the exergue area. The legend SINGAPORE encircles the upper portion of the coin, with the name of the issuer rendered in all four official languages — English, Malay (SINGAPURA), Tamil (சிங்கப்பூர்), and Chinese (新加坡) — distributed around the periphery. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Singapore Town Series launched in 2005, this dollar was issued as the Monetary Authority of Singapore shifted focus toward documenting historic neighborhoods before rapid urban redevelopment erased their street-level character. Thomson Village, a former Teochew settlement along Upper Thomson Road, retained its kampung-era shophouse strip well into the 2000s — a rarity given Singapore's demolition pace. The series itself marked a deliberate departure from the Flora and Fauna coinage that had defined Singaporean circulation issues since 1985.
