Brunei 20 dollars Coronation Bolkiah UC-105 Anniversary Politics CuNi coin 1988

The 1988 Brunei 20 Dollars – 20th Anniversary of the Coronation of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is a historically significant commemorative CuNi issue honoring two decades of the Sultan’s reign. The obverse features a sharply engraved portrait of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in ceremonial military attire. His detailed epaulettes, ornate collar, medals, and refined facial features are rendered in deep relief, framed by the inscription SULTAN HASSANAL BOLKIAH. The metallic sheen of the CuNi alloy enhances the sculptural depth of the portrait.

The reverse showcases Brunei’s national coat of arms, surrounded by a decorative wreath. Within the crest appear symbolic elements: royal umbrellas, spears, flags, Arabic calligraphy, a central mosque dome, and floral ornaments — each representing the monarchy, faith, and cultural identity. The commemorative dates 1968 and 1988 flank the emblem, marking twenty years since the Sultan’s coronation. The inscriptions ULANGTAHUN YANG KE 20 PERPUSPAAN and KERAJAAN BRUNEI circle the rim, while the denomination $20 sits prominently below. With its bold detailing and strong historical meaning, the coin is a desirable addition to collections focused on Brunei’s political heritage and royal anniversaries.
