| Opmerkingen |
Jordan's first post-independence banknote series, of which this is a part, replaced the Jordan Currency Board issues that had been administered under British oversight. The Central Bank itself wasn't formally established until 1964 — meaning this 1959 note predates the institution whose name it carries, issued instead under enabling legislation that anticipated the bank's eventual founding.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement in this series was essentially a continuation of colonial-era printing arrangements, common across newly independent Arab states that lacked domestic printing infrastructure. The watermark security on these early issues was minimal by De La Rue's own standards of the period.
