| Obverse description | Central device depicts the old national emblem of Qatar, featuring a traditional dhow (sailing vessel) navigating stylized waves adjacent to a small island bearing two palm trees. The emblem is rendered in relief within the coin's field. An Arabic legend arching along the upper periphery reads 'State of Qatar' accompanied by the Gregorian and Hijri dates flanking a central dot. The design reflects the maritime heritage and national identity of Qatar as established at independence. |
