Jordan's 1992 series was printed during a period of acute fiscal stress — the kingdom had entered an IMF structural adjustment program in 1989 following a severe balance-of-payments crisis that collapsed the dinar by nearly 50% against the dollar. The 20-dinar note sat near the top of a denomination range that the government was simultaneously trying to rebuild credibility around, which made the quality of production politically as well as commercially significant. De La Rue's involvement was consistent with Jordan's long-standing preference for British security printers.
The watermark is the sole listed security feature for this type — relatively modest for a high-value note by early 1990s standards, when magnetic and fluorescent threads were already common in comparable issues.
