| Additional information |
Jordan's small bronze fils denominations from this period were issued under the Hashemite Kingdom's managed currency policy tied closely to the British pound sterling until decoupling in 1967 — meaning this 1968 piece was struck in the first full year Jordan's dinar operated as a fully independent currency unit. The timing was not incidental.
