[Historical background]

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a kingdom that has maintained a stable political system in the Middle East, and its currency, the dinar, is regarded as one of the most stable currencies in the Middle East.

The 1980s was a period when Jordan's economy was modernizing and infrastructure was being developed, and the reverse of this 20 dinar banknote depicts a power plant and agricultural landscape as symbols of this period. This is not merely decorative, but an important design element that expresses the vision for the nation's development.

[Surface design]

The obverse features a portrait of King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan, who reigned from 1952 to 1999 and played a central role in the formation of the modern Jordanian state.

The portrait is engraved with exquisite detail and subtle shading, while the background combines geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy, embodying the traditional beauty of Islamic culture.

The Arabic value inscription "عشرون ديناراً (20 dinars)" in the center is placed large and in decorative typeface, giving it a strong visual presence.

The watermark features King Hussein's watermark, providing authenticity and advanced anti-counterfeiting functionality.

[Back design]

The top of the reverse side has the words "CENTRAL BANK OF JORDAN" written in English, and in the center is a power plant (Hussein Thermal Power Station) and a farm landscape.

The power plant symbolizes Jordan's industrial modernization, while the olive plantations in the foreground represent its agricultural traditions, a combination that symbolizes the two pillars of the Jordanian economy.

The colors are a delicate blend of blue, green, olive, and gold, creating a beautiful multicolor print.
