| Reverse description | Dynamic depiction of a competitive swimmer in mid-stroke, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, with water spray and turbulence surrounding the figure. A band of applied color in deep blue and white across the lower portion of the field evokes the aquatic environment of the pool. The official sunburst emblem of the 15th Asian Games appears at upper center, flanked by the curved legend 15TH ASIAN GAMES to the left and DOHA 2006 to the right, arcing along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Qatar hosted the 15th Asian Games in December 2006 — the first Gulf state to do so — and issued a series of commemorative crowns tied to individual sports. The aquatics piece is one of several in that run, each struck in .999 silver at weights consistent with the global bullion commemorative market of the mid-2000s. Mintages across the series were low, driven more by collector subscription than domestic circulation demand; Qatar had no meaningful tradition of circulating silver coinage at the time.
