10 Dolar Brunei / Brunei Dollars BRN Banknote (2024 Polymer & Modern Issues) 2024

10 Dolar Brunei / Br Brunei Dollar (Issued 2024)

Issued during the reign of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, the 29th Sultan of Brunei Darussalam, this 2024 polymer banknote represents one of the most modern iterations of Brunei’s national currency. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who has ruled since 1967, presides over one of Southeast Asia’s wealthiest and most stable absolute monarchies, with Brunei’s economy underpinned by substantial petroleum and natural gas reserves. The introduction of polymer substrate technology for this series reflects Brunei’s commitment to incorporating the most advanced banknote security and durability standards available to a modern sovereign state.

On the front, the dominant feature is a finely engraved portrait of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, positioned to the right of centre, rendered with exceptional detail in warm brown and golden tones against a pale background. The Sultan is depicted wearing traditional Bruneian regalia, including a dark military-style jacket and a songkok cap adorned with gold embellishment, conveying both regal authority and national identity. His title “SULTAN” appears in small text beneath the portrait, with a signature also visible below, accompanied by a smaller royal crest or emblem to the portrait’s lower right. The upper portion of the note carries the bold inscription “NEGARA BRUNEI DARUSSALAM” in dark blue text, with the Malay legal tender declaration “WANG INI SAH DIPERLAKUKAN DENGAN NILAI” and the denomination inscription “SEPULUH DOLAR BRUNEI” printed clearly beneath. The denomination numeral “10” appears in large format to the upper right, alongside the currency abbreviation “B$”. To the left of the portrait, a detailed engraving of a white-domed mosque is framed within an ornate arch motif, rendered in violet and purple tones, with an adjacent security window element featuring deep blue holographic or optically variable material with a reticulated pattern that exploits the polymer substrate’s transparency. The central field features an intricate botanical illustration of a flowering plant, drawn in fine intaglio-style line work, set against a pale cream and gold circular guilloché background. The serial number E/4 469735 appears in dark numerals along the lower left of the note. The overall colour palette of the front is warm amber and orange, transitioning through cream to the cooler violet tones of the architectural window feature on the left.

The reverse presents a rich, predominantly salmon and peach toned composition dominated by a large and highly detailed aerial engraving of Masjid Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah, the caption of which is legible in small text beneath the illustration reading “MASJID JAME’ ASR HASSANIL BOLKIAH.” The mosque is depicted in fine intaglio-style line work, showing its multiple minarets, golden domes, broad courtyards, and surrounding tropical landscaping with remarkable architectural precision. The background is filled with elaborate guilloché rosette and wave patterns in warm amber, providing depth and anti-counterfeiting complexity across the entire field. To the upper left, a large stylised guilloché rosette appears in amber and gold tones. The denomination numeral “10” is printed in dark ink to the lower left, accompanied by the currency abbreviation “B$” and the text “TEN BRUNEI DOLLARS” in English below the central design. Arabic script reading “نكارا بروني دارالسلام” (Negara Brunei Darussalam) is printed prominently across the upper portion of the reverse in dark ink. Further Arabic denomination text “سيڤولوه دولر بروني” appears along the lower right, maintaining the bilingual character of the series. To the right, the same transparent polymer window seen from the front is visible again, this time showing the mosque illustration framed within the decorative arch motif in violet and purple, with the deep blue holographic element below it demonstrating the note’s dual-sided optical security feature. The combination of the windowed polymer element, the intricate guilloché patterns, and the precisely engraved mosque illustration makes the reverse one of the most visually detailed in the Brunei Darussalam series.
