Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 15th century of the Hijrah era, which is a significant event in the Islamic calendar. The coin's design reflects this occasion, featuring an image of Hussein, a prominent figure in Islamic history, on one side, and the Jordanian coat of arms on the other. The use of gold and the coin's weight of 14.31 grams also add to its value and collectibility.
