| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar — the first held in the Middle East — this piece commemorates La'eeb, the official tournament mascot. Qatar's Central Bank released a series of circulating commemoratives tied to the tournament, part of a broader national effort to embed the event into everyday material culture. The coin entered circulation alongside the tournament itself, making it one of the few modern commemoratives genuinely intended for pocket change rather than collector sets.
