| Additional information |
Pattern coins issued by the Central Bank of Jordan in 2000 were part of an internal evaluation process for a proposed bimetallic coinage modernization that was ultimately not adopted for circulation. KM#Pn22 is one of several denominations trialed during this period, none of which entered production in this form.
