| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 30th anniversary of ASEAN's founding in Bangkok in August 1967, this coin appeared at a politically fraught moment — the 1997 Asian financial crisis was already unraveling regional currencies when it was struck, and Brunei's decision to maintain dollar parity with Singapore kept the sultanate insulated in ways its neighbors were not. The face value of 30 dollars mirrors the anniversary year directly, a denomination device common to Bruneian commemoratives of this period.
