| Obverse description | The central field bears the State of Qatar's national emblem — a traditional dhow sailing vessel flanked by a palm tree, set above two crossed swords, all enclosed within a circular inner ring. The Arabic legend 'دولة قطر' (State of Qatar) arcs above the emblem within the inner circle, while the English legend 'STATE OF QATAR' appears below in an ornamental script. Surrounding the inner circle is a broad decorative band featuring stylised geometric and architectural motifs inspired by traditional Qatari design. The date '2021' is inscribed at the base of the coin, and the outer rim is adorned with a border of repeating geometric shapes. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the FIFA Arab Cup hosted by Qatar in late 2021, this competition served as a direct operational rehearsal for the 2022 FIFA World Cup — the first to be held in the Middle East. Qatar used the Arab Cup to test stadium infrastructure, crowd logistics, and tournament protocols across the same venues that would host the World Cup just twelve months later. The coin was released through the Qatar Central Bank as part of a broader program of commemorative issues building public engagement ahead of the larger event.
