Interesting fact
The 1968-1977 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 country's shift towards a more modern and secular identity.
