Vorderseitenbeschreibung Intaglio-printed portrait of King Hussein in three-quarter view occupies the left third of the note, set within an intricate guilloche border with arabesque scrollwork at the corners. The denomination نصف دينار (Half Dinar) is inscribed in large Arabic script at centre, flanked by a vertical pale blue-green underprint. Two facsimile signatures appear below the denomination text, identified by the titles المحافظ (Governor) and وزير المالية (Minister of Finance), with a multicolour geometric mosaic panel at lower right.

Rückseitenbeschreibung The right two-thirds of the reverse carry an intaglio vignette of the Roman colonnaded street and oval forum ruins at Jerash (Gerasa), rendered in fine brown engraving with a light blue sky underprint. A tall ornamental cartouche formed by a stylised numeral '1/2' and foliate scrollwork frames the blank watermark area on the left. The denomination HALF DINAR and the bilingual caption جرش / JERASH appear at the bottom centre, with the fractional value 1/2 repeated at the upper right and lower right corners.

Anmerkungen

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.
