Additional information

Jordan issued this commemorative dinar in 1998 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. King Hussein, who died in February 1999 just months after this coin entered circulation, had positioned Jordan as a regional moderate voice — the country had signed its peace treaty with Israel only four years earlier in 1994, a politically costly move that shaped Hussein's late-reign international identity.
