| Additional information |
Pattern coinage from Jordan's 1975 series represents the Central Bank's evaluation phase before committing to a circulating composition. The gold strikes in this group — designated Pn8 in the Krause pattern listings — were almost certainly produced in extremely limited numbers for presentation or archival purposes, not as candidates for actual circulation. Gold was never a realistic option for a fractional denomination of this size.
Hussein bin Talal's reign saw several such exploratory strikes during currency modernization exercises in the 1970s.
