| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed architectural rendering of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, viewed through a foreground colonnade of pointed arches, with the gilded dome rising at centre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque visible to the right. The upper border carries the issuer name in Roman capitals, while the denomination in English appears at lower left alongside decorative floral arabesques in teal and ochre. A caption in both English and Arabic identifies the monument along the lower edge of the vignette. |

Jordan's 1 Dinar series ran across an unusually long window — nearly two decades — during which the signature combinations changed repeatedly, making the prefix letter on the serial number the primary key to identifying earlier versus later printings. Notes with the Alif (ﺃ) prefix represent the earliest issues within the series; those with other prefix letters belong to later print runs. The distinction matters more to specialists than the catalog entry suggests at first glance, since some prefix combinations are considerably scarcer than others.
