| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing portrait bust of King Hussein bin Talal rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Arabic inscriptions are arranged in two vertical columns flanking the effigy: the royal titulature reading 'Hussein bin Talal, King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan' appears to the left and right of the portrait. The design is executed in a clean, contemporary medallic style with fine detail in the facial features. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Jordan's commemorative program under King Hussein I, this quarter dinar belongs to a series produced specifically for the collector market rather than circulation — a distinction the Central Bank of Jordan leaned into heavily during the 1970s as a foreign exchange strategy common among smaller Arab states at the time. The .925 silver content placed these squarely in the international bullion-adjacent collector trade.
KM#29 corresponds to the 1974 issue tied to the Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition held in Amman that year.
