Below the effigy, the Sultan's royal cipher appears in Arabic script in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Brunei held the ASEAN chairmanship in 2013, a rotating role that brought with it the hosting of both the ASEAN Summit and related ministerial meetings in Bandar Seri Begawan. Commemorative issues tied to ASEAN chairmanships are a well-established practice among member states, though Brunei's output remains modest compared to larger economies in the bloc. At 31.11 grams in copper-nickel, the specification deliberately mirrors a troy ounce — a weight more commonly associated with silver bullion — lending the piece a substantive feel without the precious metal cost.
