Depicts a bust of Hussein bin Talal three-quarters right surrounded inscription "25th Anniversary of the Accession of King Hussein" and the date above.

Abdullah's eldest son, Talal, was proclaimed King of Jordan. Talal appointed his son Hussein as crown prince on 9 September 1951. After a reign lasting less than thirteen months, the Parliament forced King Talal to abdicate due to his mental state – doctors had diagnosed schizophrenia. In his brief reign, Talal had introduced a modern, somewhat liberal constitution in 1952 that is still in use today. Hussein was proclaimed king on 11 August 1952, succeeding to the throne three months before his 17th birthday. A telegram from Jordan was brought in to Hussein while he was staying with his mother abroad in Lausanne, Switzerland, addressed to 'His Majesty King Hussein'. "I did not need to open it to know that my days as a schoolboy were over," Hussein later wrote in his memoirs. He returned home to cheering crowds.

Arab weaponry, including swords and spears, is depicted alongside a shield adorned with a chrysanthemum motif, representing defense. Wheat ears and a palm frond encircle the shield, connected to the ribbon of the Al Nahda First Order Medal, which bears inscriptions honoring historical figures and the kingdom's sovereignty.
