| Additional information |
Jordan's silver dinar issues of the early 1990s were produced primarily for the collector market rather than circulation, a policy the Central Bank leaned into heavily following the country's severe debt crisis of 1989, when the dinar lost nearly half its value against the dollar and the IMF imposed structural adjustment conditions. Commemorative silver became a modest hard-currency earner at a time when conventional monetary tools were severely constrained.
KM#51.1 distinguishes this from the .999 fine variant, the alloy difference being the primary catalogued distinction between the two.
