These are two reprints of the 50 ringgit first release in 2017 celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the accession to the throne of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah ibni Omar Ali Saifuddien lll. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah became the Sultan of Brunei on 05.10.1967.

Update: 24.06.2023 - Below I have added the note with the prefix of F/3.

 

The design of this note is the same as the one that was first released in 2017, except for a new year date printed on the back - 2020.

 

There are four prefixes printed for this series. F/1 is the first and so far, F/2 sighted is for the uncut sheet, both for 2017 year. However, I am not sure if there are any F/2 single notes issued. It is believed only the F/3 and F/4 are printed with the year date of 2020. However it is not sure if F/5 has been printed and pending for release or perhaps this could be it.
