Jordan issued this piece as part of a broader conservation series produced in cooperation with the World Wildlife Fund and the FAO during the mid-1970s, a period when several Arab states used commemorative silver programs to generate foreign exchange. The series drew international collector interest largely because Jordan's conservation-themed issues were among the more credibly motivated in the region — the country had active wildlife protection programs at the time, not merely nominal ones.
Struck at a relatively low mintage typical of the series, most examples reached collectors directly rather than circulation.
