Brunei 50 sen Sultan Hassanal Birthday PR70 PCGS CuNi coin 1996

The Brunei 50 Sen 1996 coin was issued in honor of the 50th birthday of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, celebrating a key milestone in the monarch’s life and reign. The obverse presents a dignified portrait of the Sultan in ceremonial uniform, complete with detailed medals, epaulettes and a traditional headgear. His name appears in bold Latin script around the rim, complemented by refined Arabic calligraphy beneath the bust, emphasizing Brunei’s cultural identity.

The reverse features a beautifully engraved panoramic view of a long stilted riverside settlement, likely symbolizing traditional Bruneian architecture. The scene shows wooden houses, posts resting in water, and surrounding waves rendered in repeating stylized patterns. Above the landscape, inscriptions mark the Sultan’s 50th birthday and the date 15 Julai 1996, while the denomination 50 Sen appears prominently at the lower center. Struck in CuNi with an exceptional Proof finish and certified PCGS PR70DCAM, this coin is a superb example of Brunei’s commemorative numismatics, blending heritage, tradition and impeccable craftsmanship.
