Brunei 10 dollars Independence Sultan Bolkiah History MS 69 NGC CuNi coin 1994

The 1994 Brunei 10 Dollars – 10th Anniversary of Independence coin honors a decade of national sovereignty and the enduring leadership of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah. The obverse features a highly detailed portrait of the Sultan in ceremonial uniform: the tall formal cap, ornate epaulettes, braided cords, and decorations are rendered in crisp relief, accompanied by the inscription SULTAN HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH. His image underscores his central role in guiding Brunei through its early years of independence.

The reverse showcases the official emblem of the Government of Brunei — a richly ornamented shield with royal crest, crossed ceremonial weapons, spears, and scrollwork in Arabic script. Surrounding inscriptions KERAJAAN BRUNEI, the dates 1984–1994, and the Malay phrase ULANGTAHUN KE 10 KEMERDEKAAN reinforce the coin’s commemorative purpose. The denomination $10 is placed boldly below. Struck in CuNi and graded NGC MS69, this piece exhibits exceptional brilliance and near-flawless surfaces, making it one of the highest-quality examples of this issue.

A compelling acquisition for collectors of Southeast Asian history, royal portraiture, and independence-themed numismatics.
