| Additional information |
Jordan's first decimal coinage series launched in 1949 under the Jordan Currency Board, but the Central Bank didn't take over issuance until 1964 — the year this piece was first struck. The shift in issuing authority coincided with broader efforts to consolidate monetary control under King Hussein's government following a period of acute regional instability, including the 1958 Iraqi coup and ongoing tensions with the UAR.
The two-year window of this issue, 1964–1965, reflects a transitional mintage rather than a planned short run.
