10 Dinars - Abdullah II Abdullah II Accession

Issued to mark Abdullah II's accession following the death of King Hussein in February 1999, this coin was struck at a politically charged moment — Hussein had controversially reinstated Abdullah as crown prince just weeks before his death, reversing a 1999 decision that had elevated his brother Prince Hassan to the position for over two decades. The succession question had been unresolved for years, and the speed of the transition caught even senior Jordanian officials off guard.
