Obverse description	Bare-headed effigy of King Hussein bin Talal in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The Hashemite royal crown device appears at the top of the coin above the portrait. A circular Arabic legend surrounds the effigy, reading the king's name and the full title of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Below the portrait, the numeral '25' appears flanked by the denomination in Arabic words and the Hijri date 1389 along the lower rim, all within a beaded border.

Reverse description	A detailed, finely engraved view of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem occupies the central field, depicted from a slight three-quarter perspective with the octagonal base, decorative tilework, arched portico, drum, and gilded dome rendered with architectural precision. The foreground features the paved esplanade of the Temple Mount with a geometric diamond-pattern border framing the lower portion of the design. The curved inscription 'DOME OF THE ROCK · JERUSALEM' arcs below the monument. Along the upper periphery, within a beaded border, the legend 'THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN' curves in Latin letters. The lower exergue bears the denomination 'TWENTYFIVE · 25 · DINARS' with the Gregorian year '1969' to the right.
