Qatar issued this note to mark its hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — the first World Cup held in the Arab world, and the first played in November and December rather than the traditional summer window, a scheduling shift forced by the country's extreme summer heat. The denomination of 22 was chosen purely for the occasion: it has no place in Qatar's standard currency series and was never intended as a circulating banknote. Effectively a commemorative polymer piece from the moment of issue.
De La Rue's polymer substrate here carries clear and reflective window security elements — a combination that had become the printer's more sophisticated answer to the earlier generation of transparent patches pioneered by Note Printing Australia's Guardian technology.
