Pattern coinage from Jordan's 1975 decimal currency trials rarely surfaces in trade, and this gold quarter-dirham piece represents a denomination structure that was ultimately shelved before public introduction. The Central Bank commissioned multiple pattern compositions that year as Jordan evaluated a proposed metrication of its coinage system — the fils denominations that emerged in circulation used far more economical alloys.
KM#Pn10 is one of several catalogued patterns from this trial series, struck in limited numbers purely for official evaluation rather than distribution.
