Jordan's half-dinar denomination has an awkward economic history — by the time this series was being issued into the late 1980s, inflation had eroded its practical utility considerably, and it circulated alongside coins of nearly equivalent value in a way that confused rather than served everyday transactions. The long print run across fourteen years accounts for the two Arabic letter prefixes on serial numbering, Alif and Ba, simply reflecting volume rather than any distinct emission or policy change.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement here is routine for the region; Jordan relied on them consistently across multiple series.
