Below the emblem, inscriptions state the metal, fineness, weight, denomination, and date. The legend STATE OF QATAR arcs along the upper periphery, while the technical specifications and value are arranged in a horizontal band beneath the central device. |

Qatar hosted the 15th Asian Games in December 2006 — the first Gulf state to do so — an event that prompted an unusual burst of commemorative coin production from a country with almost no domestic numismatic tradition. The Doha games drew 45 nations and marked a deliberate projection of Qatari ambition well before the FIFA World Cup bid entered anyone's conversation.
KM#22 is one of several gold issues tied to the event, each referencing a different local landmark. The Dallah, a traditional Arabian coffee pot, had been adopted as a cultural emblem of Qatari hospitality long before it became commemorative subject matter.
