| Additional information |
Jordan's quarter dinar series of this period was produced during a politically volatile stretch that included the Black September conflict of 1970, when King Hussein's government fought a brief but brutal civil war against Palestinian fedayeen factions operating within Jordanian territory. The fighting effectively paralyzed normal economic life for months. That the mint maintained continuity of issue across the full 1970–1975 span reflects the deliberate effort to project institutional stability through an unbroken currency presence.
