10 Riyals 2006 Asian Games, Aquatics

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.
