| Comments |
Jordan's Central Bank was established by law in 1964, replacing the Jordan Currency Board that had managed the dinar since 1950. This 1965 note belongs to the bank's first issue — the inaugural series produced under the new institution's authority rather than the transitional board structure.
Thomas De La Rue had printed Jordanian currency continuously since the mandate period, and the relationship carried over without interruption into the new central banking framework. The watermark security on this series is relatively modest by De La Rue's own standards of the period.
