Brunei history seen through its coinage

Recommended Posts

THE history of any country's coinage is interesting. Coins are the physical manifestation of the political power of any one country. For the last 2,000 years, coins throughout the world tend to depict the leader of that country, be it the Sultan or the King or the Queen or the President just as the days of the Roman Empire — that of the Caesars.

 

The history of Brunei's coins is no less fascinating. It started from the Chinese coins called duit kue all the way to today's shiny coins bearing the portrait of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah, Brunei's 29th Sultan.
