Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Sen coin from Brunei featuring Hassanal Bolkiah's third portrait is that it has a unique design element - a small ring of letters around the rim of the coin. These letters spell out the phrase "Brunei Darussalam" in Arabic script, which is the official name of the country in Malay and Arabic. This design feature is not commonly found on coins and adds an extra layer of cultural significance to the coin.
