Interesting fact

The 1978-1991 Jordanian ¼ Dirham / 25 Fils coin featuring King Hussein's image was the first coin in the country's history to bear the king's portrait. This was a significant departure from previous coins, which had featured various symbols and designs but not the king's image. The inclusion of the king's portrait on the coin was seen as a symbol of the monarch's importance and authority in Jordanian society.
