Description
This listing features a scarce 1974 (AH1394) Jordan 1/4 Dinar silver proof (KM#29), encapsulated by Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) and certified as Genuine – Impaired Proof. Struck to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the Central Bank of Jordan, this low-mintage issue of just 450 pieces ranks among the most sought-after modern Jordanian silver commemoratives.
The obverse features a bold portrait of King Hussein bin Talal, while the reverse depicts the symbolic olive tree, representing peace and prosperity, encircled by dual Arabic and English inscriptions marking the anniversary. Proof examples are already scarce, but surviving pieces in any certified holder are becoming increasingly elusive, particularly with the rarely encountered early NCS encapsulation, which adds collectible value for slab specialists.
With a combination of historical significance, low mintage, and special holder rarity, this coin appeals to both Jordanian series specialists and world silver proof collectors.
