| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Hussein bin Talal facing left, depicted in suit and tie, set within a raised inner circle. A curving Arabic legend occupies the upper field, reading the royal title and country name, while the denomination appears in both Arabic script and Latin lettering ('1 DINAR') to the right of the portrait. The English legend 'THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN' runs along the lower periphery. The piece is struck on a lead trial flan with a broad, machined outer rim typical of pattern and trial strikings. |

| Additional information |
Trial pieces for Jordanian commemoratives were typically struck in lead to test die alignment and relief depth before committing to the final silver or base-metal production run. This example commemorates the 50th anniversary of Jordanian independence from Britain, formally achieved on 25 May 1946. Lead trials rarely escaped the mint officially; most were destroyed after approval, making survivors a matter of institutional leakage rather than intentional release.
