1 Dinar - Hussein Reign, Gold Piedfort

Piedforts — coins struck at double or greater thickness on standard-diameter blanks — have been used since medieval France as presentation and pattern pieces, never intended for circulation. Jordan's gold piedfort issues of this period were produced in strictly limited quantities for collectors and diplomatic gifting, a practice the Central Bank formalized in the late 1980s alongside a broader program of commemorative issues tied to Hashemite royal milestones.

Hussein ibn Talal had ruled since 1952, making him by 1992 one of the longest-reigning monarchs in the Arab world. The .9167 fineness places this squarely in 22-karat territory — the traditional standard for bullion coinage across the Gulf and Levant.
