| Additional information |
Pattern coins from the Central Bank of Jordan in this period were produced as internal proposals during currency reform discussions, and most never advanced beyond a small number of struck specimens distributed to bank officials and select numismatic archives. KM#Pn18 is among the less-documented Jordanian patterns, with no confirmed public mintage figure and surviving examples traceable primarily through European auction appearances in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Nickel brass was being evaluated across multiple Middle Eastern monetary authorities during the mid-1990s as a cost-effective alloy for fractional denominations — Jordan's flirtation with it here went no further.
