The medallion is flanked by a spray of wheat on the left and a palm frond on the right, tied at the base by a ribbon. The Arabic legend 'المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية' (The Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan) and 'خمسون فلسا' (Fifty Fils) appear in elegant calligraphic script surrounding the central device, with six-pointed star ornaments punctuating the field.
