Brunei's 1984 independence from Britain — after nearly a century as a protected state — was marked by a extended series of commemorative and circulating issues that continued well into the following decade. This 1994 piece falls within the tenth anniversary commemorative program, issued as Brunei was consolidating its international standing as a sovereign oil-producing state outside both ASEAN's larger economies and British financial oversight.
