Jordan's fils-denomination bronzes of this period reflect the dual-naming convention adopted after the 1965 monetary reform, which formally reintroduced fils alongside the older qirsh designation to ease public familiarity during metrication. Hussein's government was simultaneously managing the economic fallout from the 1967 war, which had cost Jordan the West Bank — its most agriculturally productive territory and a significant source of tax revenue. Coin production continued through Jordanian mints and the Royal Mint in the UK, where much of the kingdom's coinage was contracted during this decade.
