| Additional information |
Issued to mark Abdullah II's accession following the death of King Hussein in February 1999, this coin was struck in the same year Hussein quietly amended his succession decision — reinstating Abdullah over his brother Hamzah just days before his own death in Bethesda, Maryland. The reversal ended a three-year period during which Hamzah had been named crown prince, a designation Hussein had made under pressure from his American medical team's timeline.
