Jordan's currency was decimalized in 1992, but the qirsh — a unit with roots in the Ottoman kuruş — was retained as a subdivision purely for continuity with older generations accustomed to the terminology. Abdullah II ascended to the throne in February 1999 following the death of his father Hussein, who had reigned for 46 years, making this among the earliest coinage series to carry the new king's portrait.
The shift to nickel clad steel from earlier compositions was part of a broader regional cost-reduction trend as silver and high-nickel alloys became economically impractical for circulation coinage in the late 1990s.
