Jordan's first post-Hashemite Kingdom series, this note was issued under the Central Bank of Jordan, which had only been established in 1964 — except that date contradicts a 1959 issue, which would place it under the Jordan Currency Board, the transitional authority operating before the Central Bank existed. The Pick catalog attribution warrants scrutiny here.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement was characteristic of the period; British printers held near-monopoly contracts across newly independent and reorganizing Arab states through the late 1950s. The watermark remains the sole security feature — no security thread, which was not yet standard practice for this tier of denomination.
