| Additional information |
Brunei's 1984 independence from Britain — ending a protectorate arrangement that had been in place since 1888 — made the sultanate one of the last Southeast Asian nations to achieve full sovereignty. This 1994 issue marks the tenth anniversary of that transition, struck during a period when Brunei's oil revenues had made it one of the wealthiest states per capita in the world, a fact that made commemorative silver programs financially trivial to produce and easy to keep in high grades.
The Currency and Monetary Board had maintained a currency interchangeability agreement with Singapore since 1967, meaning the Brunei dollar traded at parity with the Singapore dollar throughout this period.
