Jordanian 10 Fils Coin (King Hussein Bin Talal)

This is a circular bronze or bronze-plated steel currency coin from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, specifically a 10 Fils denomination. The obverse side features the right-facing profile portrait of King Hussein bin Talal, who reigned from 1952 to 1999. The portrait shows the King in mature profile with a clean-shaven face and short hair. Flanking the portrait is Arabic calligraphy indicating the King's title and name. The coin appears to be approximately 20-25mm in diameter with a smooth or slightly worn edge. The coloration is a dull coppery brown, characteristic of aged bronze, with a noticeable matte finish and moderate patina consistent with circulation. There are signs of light surface wear on the high points of the portrait and the surrounding rim, but the central design remains clearly legible. Based on the portrait style, this coin likely dates from the late 1960s to the 1990s. The minting demonstrates standard industrial quality for mid-to-late 20th-century state coinage, with well-defined relief. No significant gouges or dents are visible, though general handled wear is present across the surface.
