| Obverse description | This face bears a right-facing draped bust of King Hussein I of Jordan, depicted in military uniform adorned with a decorative order or medal on the chest. To the left of the effigy, five lines of Arabic calligraphic text occupy the central field, constituting an excerpt from King Hussein's independence declaration speech. A continuous Arabic legend arcs around the upper periphery of the inner circle, reading the Golden Jubilee of Independence 1946–1996. The design is contained within a raised inner border, set against a broad milled rim characteristic of trial strike planchets. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this trial strike presents a plain, uniface lead planchet with no struck design, confirming its status as a one-sided reverse trial piece. The surface displays the characteristic tool marks, flow lines, and concave distortion typical of a lead test pressing, with a broad flat rim showing milling marks from the collar. The central field is entirely blank and unmarked by any die impression, demonstrating that only the obverse die was employed during this trial striking. |
