Jordan's P#20 series had a notably long run — the 1975 issue date reflects the introduction of the design, but notes bearing signatures of successive governors continued to be printed through the early 1990s, making signature identification essential for pinning down a specific emission. Thomas De La Rue printed the series throughout, maintaining consistent plate quality across nearly two decades of production.
The watermark anchor for the series is a repeating pattern tied to the cotton substrate De La Rue used consistently for Jordanian issues of this period. No significant paper varieties have been documented for P#20, though minor shade differences exist across the print runs.
