| Comments |
Jordan's Central Bank has relied on Thomas De La Rue for most of its modern note production, and this series is no exception. What distinguishes the P#29 issue within the broader Hussein-era output is its unusually long print window — spanning from 1995 until shortly after Hussein's death in February 1999, with dated examples continuing under the regency arrangements into the early Abdullah II transition period before the series was retired.
Security provision is minimal by the standards of the period; a single watermark against a backdrop of growing regional counterfeiting pressure reflects the lower-denomination logic — cost of protection scaled to face value.
