Brunei 20 dollars 20th Anniversary of Sultan Coronation silver coin 1988

The 1988 Brunei 20 Dollars – 20th Anniversary of the Sultan’s Coronation coin honors two decades since the enthronement of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, one of the world’s longest-reigning monarchs. The obverse features a finely engraved portrait of the Sultan in full ceremonial uniform: detailed epaulettes, braided cords, decorations, and a sharply defined facial profile. The inscription SULTAN HASSANAL BOLKIAH frames the upper rim, emphasizing his central role in the nation’s modern era.

The reverse presents an ornate national emblem surrounded by lush wreath motifs. The crest includes royal umbrellas, spears, flags, a crescent, Arabic calligraphy, and the dome of a mosque — symbols that reflect Brunei’s Islamic heritage and monarchical tradition. The commemorative dates 1968 and 1988 mark the anniversary, while ULANGTAHUN YANG KE 20 PERPUSPAAN (“20th Coronation Anniversary”) and KERAJAAN BRUNEI encircle the edge. The denomination $20 sits prominently beneath the coat of arms. Struck in silver with a brilliant finish, this coin stands out for its bold relief and impressive craftsmanship.

A significant piece for collectors of Brunei history, royal commemoratives, and symbolic national emblems.
