| Reverse description | The reverse features two colorized oval portrait medallions side by side: at left, DYTM Paduka Seri Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah in formal Western attire, and at right, Dayangku Sarah Binti Pengiran Salleh Ab Rahaman wearing a blue floral hijab, commemorating their royal wedding. The Brunei royal coat of arms is depicted at the top center above the portraits. The denomination '$3' appears between the portraits, with a full bilingual inscription in Latin and Arabic naming both individuals and recording the wedding date '24 Rejab 1425 / 9 September 2004'. The Malay legend 'MEMPERINGATI ISTIADAT PERKAHWINAN DIRAJA' arcs around the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2004 wedding of Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Sultan's eldest son and heir apparent, to Sarah Salleh — a commoner whose selection as bride was itself a significant departure from the dynastic marriage conventions typical of the Brunei royal house. The Brunei Currency and Monetary Board produced this in copper-nickel rather than silver despite the 31-gram format, a cost-conscious choice that kept the piece accessible as a commemorative without the bullion premium.
