This specimen was lot 889 in Stephen Album sale 30 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "JORDAN: Abdullah II, 1999—, brass 3 dinars, 2002/AH1423, Amman as the Arabic Culture Capital, Unc, RR. Only 500 sold to collectors. The rest were taken by the Amman municipality as official gifts." Jordan, long a part of the Ottoman Empire, was seized by the British at the end of World War One but then granted independence under a local monarchy in 1946. King Hussein (r. 1951-99) proved to be an adroit politician who managed to maneuver between Israeli armed strength and the urgings of his Arab neighbors to attack Israel. Forced to participate in the wars of 1948, 1956 and 1967 (losing all three), the king stood aside when Sadat attacked Israel once again in 1973.
