Interesting fact
The ¼ Dinar coin from Jordan featuring King Hussein's image has an interesting fact. The coin's year of mintage, 1390-1395, corresponds to 1970-1975 in the Gregorian calendar. This means that the coin was minted during a time of significant political and social change in Jordan, including the country's independence from British rule in 1948 and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these changes, the coin's design remained relatively consistent, with the image of King Hussein on one side and the Jordanian coat of arms on the other. This consistency in design reflects the country's commitment to maintaining its cultural heritage and traditions, even in the face of political and social upheaval.
