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 Nasser attacked Israel once again in 1973. The specimen shown is a 1/4 dinar commemorating the 25th anniversary of reign (silver jubilee of King Hussain).
Recorded mintage: 200,000.
Specification: 17 g, copper-nickel, 34 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 30.
