Interesting fact

The 50 Sen coin from Brunei featuring the 2nd portrait of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah (1993-2016) has a unique feature - it has a mistake in the Arabic inscription on the reverse side. The word "Khalifa" (meaning "Caliph") is misspelled as "Khalefa" which is a rare error in coin minting. This error has made the coin a prized collectible among numismatists.
