Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sen coin from Brunei is that it features the first portrait of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who was the 29th Sultan of Brunei and ruled from 1967 until his abdication in 2014. This coin was minted during his early years as Sultan, and it's notable that the title on the coin does not include the numeral 'I' in the title, indicating that it was minted during a time when the Sultan was still young and had not yet taken on the full regalia of his position.
