Jordan's switch to a new banknote family in the early 1990s came as the country was still absorbing the economic fallout from the 1990–91 Gulf crisis — a period in which Jordan's refusal to join the coalition against Iraq badly strained its relationship with Gulf donors and triggered a sharp contraction in remittances and aid. The new notes were a deliberate signal of institutional continuity from the Central Bank, issued amid a dinar that had already been badly devalued in 1988–89.
Thomas De La Rue had printed Jordanian currency since the earliest issues of the Central Bank, and the P#26 continues that unbroken relationship. The security provision on this series was relatively light — watermark only, without the metal thread that would become standard on later Jordanian issues.
