| Reverse description | The central field, rendered in frosted relief against a polished background, features an elaborate Arabic calligraphic inscription reading 'أرض العزم' (Land of Resolve) in a large, ornate script occupying the majority of the inner disc. The surrounding border legend, set within a dark annular band, reads 'CENTENNIAL OF STATEHOOD 1921-2021' in Latin characters along the upper arc, while the denomination '10 DINARS' in Latin and '١٠ دنانير' in Arabic appear along the lower arc. The composition is framed by a plain raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Jordan's Statehood commemorative series marks the centennial of the Emirate of Transjordan, established in 1921 when the British carved the territory out of their League of Nations mandate and installed Abdullah I — a Hashemite prince from the Hejaz — as its ruler. The arrangement was, bluntly, a political convenience: Abdullah had been marching north to reclaim Syria for his family and the British needed him redirected. The emirate he received was landlocked, resource-poor, and dependent on a British subsidy from the start.
The KM#98 attribution places this within the Central Bank's centennial output, a tightly managed series with strictly limited mintage figures typical of Jordanian commemorative silver issues of this period.
