| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Hussein bin Talal in right-facing profile, with military collar visible at the truncation. The Hashemite royal crown emblem appears at the top of the field above the portrait. An Arabic circular legend surrounds the bust, with the denomination and Hijri date inscribed in the lower field below the truncation. The coin is struck to proof quality with a deeply mirrored field contrasting the frosted relief of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Frontal view of the ancient Umayyad desert castle of Al Harraneh (Qasr al-Kharana), rendered in fine relief at the centre of the field, depicting its massive rectangular stone walls and corner towers. Below the castle, the inscription 'AL HARRANEH PALACE' arcs across the field, flanked by a geometric diamond-pattern background filling the lower portion of the design. The denomination '1/2' in large numerals is displayed prominently in the lower centre, with 'HALF' to the left, the date '1969' to the right, and 'DINAR' along the bottom. The circular legend 'THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN' runs along the upper rim, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. |
