Issued under Qatar Central Bank's collectibles program ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — the first held in the Middle East — this piece belongs to a broader series of commemorative silver strikes produced for the tournament. Qatar's hosting rights, awarded in 2010 amid sustained controversy over the selection process, made the event among the most politically scrutinized in football history before a ball was kicked.
The "Play" designation identifies it within a themed subset of the World Cup coin series, each title corresponding to a different aspect of the game.
