1 Fils - Hussein 2nd Pattern

Pattern issues from the Central Bank of Jordan in the mid-1970s were largely produced for presentation and archival purposes, never intended for circulation. The 1975 gold striking of this denomination almost certainly originates from the Franklin Mint's involvement with Jordan during this period, when the Philadelphia-based private mint held contracts with numerous Middle Eastern states to produce proof and pattern sets.

The fils denomination itself was already economically marginal by 1975 — inflation had rendered the lowest subunit essentially notional in daily commerce.
