The assassination of King Abdullah in 1951 and the overthrow of King Talal in 1952 led to instability in politics, the economy and many other areas.

Whether it is an item of information that was intentionally incorporated by the designer, a technical element that is expressed in the stamp, or a marginal item that was accidentally added to the image displayed on it, the stamp collector is advised not to be satisfied with a superficial glance but to look at the stamp carefully and look for the element that is not obvious.
A term referring to all types of letters and numbers that may be incorporated into the margins around the stamp sheet. This inscription may include technical details such as the number of the die and the sheet number, the date of printing, the printer’s details, various control marks, and a summary of the value of the stamps in the sheet. Sometimes, various instructions regarding the use of the stamps are incorporated into the marginal inscription.
