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

100 Dolar Brunei / B Brunei Dollar (Issued 2024)

Issued under the reign of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, the 29th Sultan of Brunei and one of the longest-serving monarchs in the world, this 2024 polymer banknote represents a milestone in Brunei’s monetary history as the nation embraced modern substrate technology for its highest circulating denomination. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has ruled Brunei since 1967, presiding over decades of oil-driven prosperity and the country’s independence from Britain in 1984. The shift to polymer for this series reflects Brunei’s commitment to enhanced security, durability, and anti-counterfeiting standards. This note is issued by Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam, the monetary authority responsible for managing the Brunei Dollar.

On the front, the dominant feature is a finely engraved portrait of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, positioned to the right of centre, rendered in detailed intaglio-style engraving with careful tonal gradations across his face, uniform, and traditional regalia. The Sultan is depicted wearing a dark military-style uniform with ceremonial decorations and medals visible across his chest, and his expression is composed and formal. Below the portrait, the word “SULTAN” appears in black text identifying the figure. To the left of the portrait, a large and botanically detailed rendering of tropical orchid flowers dominates the central field, depicted in warm pink and golden-yellow hues with delicately shaded petals and stamens that provide strong visual contrast against the note’s predominantly warm amber and orange background tones. Further to the left, a tall arched window or doorway motif frames a detailed image of a grand domed mosque — identifiable as the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque — rendered in blue, purple, and silver tones within what appears to be a transparent or windowed polymer security element, creating a see-through feature characteristic of modern polymer substrate design. The upper portion of the note carries the text “NEGARA BRUNEI DARUSSALAM” in bold serif lettering, beneath which appears “WANG INI SAH DIPERLAKUKAN DENGAN NILAI” in smaller text, and then “SERATUS DOLAR BRUNEI” in a larger display font. The denomination “B$ 100” is prominently printed in the upper right in bold numerals with a warm reddish-brown colouration. The serial number “E/4 971318” appears twice — once in the lower left in dark print and once along the right edge in a vertical orientation — printed in a small, evenly spaced typeface. A small red circular emblem, likely the Brunei state crest, appears to the right of the denomination numeral. A gold foil element is visible near the lower right of the note, providing an additional security and decorative feature. The overall background of the front face incorporates intricate guilloché and micropattern work in warm amber, orange, and cream tones, with repeated small text reading “100” in a lace-like latent security pattern across the upper left.

The reverse carries Arabic script text at the top reading “نڬارا بروني دارالسلام” — the Malay name for Negara Brunei Darussalam rendered in Jawi script — positioned prominently across the upper field. The central composition of the reverse is dominated by a richly detailed landscape engraving of Pulau Chermin, identified by the caption “PULAU CHERMIN” printed in small text beneath the scene, depicting a tranquil river or coastal waterway surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, palm trees, and dense jungle foliage reflected in the calm water below. This scene is executed in warm brown and sepia-toned intaglio engraving with fine line work capturing the texture of foliage and the stillness of the water surface. To the right, the same arched mosque window motif seen on the front reappears as a prominent transparent polymer window element, showing the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in blue, lavender, and silver tones with detailed architectural rendering of its dome, minarets, and surrounding decorative archway framing in teal and geometric Islamic patterning. A gold foil element similar to that on the front appears on the left side of the reverse. Along the lower edge, the denomination “B$ 100” is printed to the left in dark numerals, and the text “ONE HUNDRED BRUNEI DOLLARS” appears in Roman script centred along the bottom, while “سراتوس دولر بروني” in Jawi script appears to the right of that text. The year “2024” is visible in small print within the central engraved scene. The background of the reverse features a delicate guilloché pattern in pale gold and cream tones, consistent with the security printing standards applied throughout the series.
