The entire central composition is set within a recessed field. A circular Latin legend 'THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN' arcs around the upper periphery, while 'FIVE YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN' and the dates '1976 - 1980' appear in smaller lettering below the central device. The denomination '50 DINARS' in Latin and '٥٠ ديناراً' in Arabic script are inscribed along the lower border. A decorative chain-link border frames the entire reverse design. |

| Additional information |
Jordan's Five Year Development Plan (1976–1980) was the Hashemite Kingdom's most ambitious postwar infrastructure program, channeling petrodollar-era Arab aid into agriculture, phosphate extraction, and transport links severed or disrupted by the 1967 and 1973 conflicts. These commemorative gold issues were authorized specifically to attract foreign capital and numismatic buyers at a moment when Jordan's economy was heavily dependent on remittances and external donors rather than domestic revenue.
Struck to .917 fineness — the traditional 22-karat standard — the series was produced in limited quantities with collector sets as the primary destination. Circulation was never the intent.
