| Comments |
Jordan's 1965 dinar series came at a period of relative monetary stability following the country's separation from the sterling area in 1964, when the Jordan Dinar was formally unpegged from its fixed link to the pound sterling and the Central Bank assumed full independent responsibility for note issue. The P#10 is part of the first series issued under that fully autonomous framework.
Thomas De La Rue printed this series throughout its run, as they had done for Jordanian issues going back to the currency board days. The single watermark remains the only security feature — no security thread, which was not yet standard practice in De La Rue's output for this tier of denomination at the time.
