| Additional information |
Jordan's dirham denomination has a complicated public history — the country officially uses fils fractions, and the dirham/100 fils dual designation on this coin reflects an attempt to reconcile colloquial usage with the formal decimal system introduced after independence. Hussein bin Talal, who reigned from 1952 until his death in 1999, oversaw some of the most turbulent decades in Jordanian history, including the loss of the West Bank in 1967 and the Black September conflict of 1970.
The fourteen-year production window for this type is notably long, suggesting steady demand without significant monetary disruption.
