10 Riyals

Qatar Central Bank's second family of notes, introduced in 2008, replaced the Qatar Monetary Agency series that had been in circulation since the mid-1970s. De La Rue produced the full range, as they had for most Gulf states during this period — a practical arrangement given the region's limited domestic printing infrastructure at the time.

The security specification here is modest by contemporary standards: watermark and thread only, without the optically variable devices or color-shifting inks that neighboring central banks were adopting on higher denominations around the same years. Likely a deliberate cost-tiered decision for the mid-range note.
