Reversbeschreibung Right-facing effigy of Pope Paul VI set within a circular border, with a stylized depiction of the Church of Gethsemane visible in the background. The legend 'THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'PAUL VI IN JERUSALEM' and 'GETHSEMANE CHURCH' appear in the field. The denomination 'TEN DINARS' and the numeral '10' are inscribed below the central motif, accompanied by the Gregorian date '1969' and the notation '900' indicating the gold fineness. The date of the papal visit '5.1.64' is also recorded in the field.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Pope Paul VI's visit to Jordan in January 1964 — the first papal journey to the Holy Land in modern times — prompted a wave of commemorative issues, but this gold dinar wasn't struck until five years after the event. The delay reflects the Jordanian government's ongoing efforts through the late 1960s to monetize the visit diplomatically and commercially, particularly as relations with the Vatican remained a point of strategic interest for Hussein amid the fractured post-1967 political landscape of the region.

The .900 fine specification places it within the older continental gold standard rather than the .916 crown gold tradition, a deliberate choice consistent with Jordanian commemorative practice of the period.
