The denomination, metal specification, fineness, and date are inscribed below the emblem. The legend 'STATE OF QATAR' arcs along the upper periphery, while '1 OZ 999 SILVER 10 RIYAL 2006' appears in the lower field in Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Qatar hosted the 15th Asian Games in December 2006 — the first Gulf state to do so — and issued a commemorative series across multiple sports to mark the occasion. Karate had been a contested event at the Asian Games since 1994, though its inclusion was periodically disputed at the international level given the sport's ongoing push for Olympic recognition, which it did not achieve until Tokyo 2020.
KM#29 is one of several near-identical issues in the series, differentiated only by sport.
