| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centennial of the 1916 Arab Revolt, in which Sharif Hussein bin Ali of Mecca launched an uprising against Ottoman rule with direct British backing — coordination managed largely through the Arab Bureau in Cairo, with T.E. Lawrence among its operatives in the field. The Hashemite dynasty that Hussein founded remains the ruling house of Jordan today, which is precisely why the Central Bank chose this anniversary for a commemorative of this weight and fineness.
