Qatar hosted the 15th Asian Games in December 2006 — the first Gulf state ever to do so — and issued a series of commemorative gold pieces tied directly to the event's organization budget and prestige campaign. This kilogram piece sits at the apex of that series. The Games themselves drew 45 nations and over 9,500 athletes, making Doha's infrastructure buildout one of the most aggressive in the tournament's history, completed under a deadline the host committee nearly missed.
At one kilogram of .999 gold, mintages for issues of this scale are invariably tiny — often double digits — and secondary market appearances are correspondingly rare.
