commemorative?

[Master Jmd 89]

i have a jordainian one quish from 1997, on the reverse it says; The Hashemire Kingdom Of Jordan 1317 - 1997, the 3 in '1317' is backwards, and i was wondering if this is a commemorative piece or a normal jordainian one quish?

Should be the normal one. The date on the left would be the SH(?) date written in Eastern Arabic numerals, while the date on the right (1997) is the AD date written in Western Arabic numerals.

The 'backwards 3' is an Arabic 4.
