The designs of the obverse and reverse were carried over to the next two coins issued in 1976 and 1977, with variations in the legends on the obverse.
Proof version of this coin was first released on the 5 July 1975. These coins were retailed individually with an issue price of S$30.00.

Please see the following images for the case and certificate.
