| Additional information |
Jordan's fils-denominated coinage underwent a quiet administrative shift during this period: the coins were issued under the authority of Hussein bin Talal, whose reign saw the Central Bank of Jordan navigate the economic pressures of regional conflict, including the aftershocks of the 1973 oil embargo and the sustained fiscal strain of hosting one of the largest Palestinian refugee populations in the Arab world. The 25 fils piece circulated heavily through this stretch, handling everyday transactions in a small open economy heavily dependent on foreign remittances and aid.
KM#38 runs across 14 years without a major design revision — a span that produced considerable die variation in practice, though no single variety has achieved wide cataloguing attention.
