Brunei 20 dollars Sultan Bolkiah Coronation Politics MS68 PCGS CuNi coin 1988

The 1988 Brunei 20 Dollars – 20th Anniversary of the Coronation of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is a distinguished CuNi commemorative issued to honor two decades of the Sultan’s reign. The obverse features a sharply engraved portrait of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in full ceremonial uniform. His epaulettes, braided cords, ornate collar, and decorations are rendered with impressive precision. The inscription SULTAN HASSANAL BOLKIAH follows the upper rim, emphasizing the authority and legacy of the monarch. The satin-like Mint State finish creates appealing contrast on the surfaces and highlights the relief.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms framed by inscriptions marking the occasion. The emblem includes royal umbrellas, spears, flags, a crescent, a domed mosque, floral ornamentation, and elegant Arabic calligraphy — each symbolizing Brunei’s royal, cultural, and religious identity. The dates 1968 and 1988 commemorate twenty years since the Sultan’s coronation. Surrounding text reads ULANGTAHUN YANG KE 20 PERPUSPAAN and KERAJAAN BRUNEI, with the denomination $20 placed prominently below. Graded PCGS MS68, the coin offers exceptional sharpness and clean surfaces, making it a desirable high-grade example of Brunei’s late-20th-century ceremonial coinage.

A meaningful addition for collectors of Brunei history, coronation anniversaries, and world CuNi commemoratives.
