| Reverse description | The reverse of this trial strike presents a plain, uniface lead planchet with no struck design, confirming its status as a one-sided reverse trial piece. The surface displays the characteristic tool marks, flow lines, and concave distortion typical of a lead test pressing, with a broad flat rim showing milling marks from the collar. The central field is entirely blank and unmarked by any die impression, demonstrating that only the obverse die was employed during this trial striking. |

| Additional information |
Trial pieces for Jordanian commemoratives were typically struck in lead to test die alignment and relief depth before committing to precious metal production runs. This 1996 issue marks the fiftieth anniversary of Jordanian independence from the British Mandate, formally recognized on May 25, 1946. Lead trials rarely entered any official record and survive largely through mint worker disposition — their transmission to collectors is almost entirely informal.
