Jordan's 1968 monetary reform replaced the dinar's subdivision system, and this pattern was struck to evaluate a proposed decimal structure under which the dirham would serve as a fractional unit. The reform ultimately retained the fils as the operative subdivision, rendering the dirham denomination obsolete before it ever circulated. Pattern issues from this deliberation are extremely rare — KM#Pn6 documents the type but surviving examples appear almost exclusively in institutional or specialist collections.
