| Comments |
Jordan's 5 Dinar note in this series was part of the fifth issue launched by the Central Bank following a comprehensive redesign program. Thomas De La Rue has held the Jordanian banknote contract for decades, a relationship built partly on political stability in that client relationship even as the region around Jordan experienced repeated disruption.
The series ran an unusually long production window — nearly two decades across multiple print runs with identical Pick numbering despite minor security upgrades along the way. Collectors should note that later printings incorporated enhanced color-shifting ink specifications not present in the earliest 2002 examples, though Pick #35 covers the entire run without subdivision.
