Jordan issued this coin to mark the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, releasing it the same year King Hussein was navigating the aftermath of the 1994 Wadi Araba Treaty — the peace agreement with Israel that had cost him considerable political capital within the Arab world. The UN commemorative gave the monarchy a relatively uncontroversial platform for an international-facing coin at a diplomatically sensitive moment.
