| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised design commemorating the 14th GCC Stamps Exhibition, depicting two profile busts — a traditionally dressed Qatari man wearing a keffiyeh and a woman — shown in outline relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The busts are enclosed within a decorative border evoking the perforated edge of a postage stamp, rendered in a wavy line design. The Arabic legend 'معرض الطوابع الخليجي الرابع عشر الدوحة ٢٠٠٨' curves along the upper border, while the Latin inscription '14th GCC Stamps Exhibition Doha 2008' arcs along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Gulf Cooperation Council Stamp Exhibition held in Doha, this is one of a cluster of commemorative silver pieces the Qatar Central Bank produced during the mid-2000s oil boom, when state-sponsored cultural programming expanded aggressively alongside hydrocarbon revenues. Philatelic exhibitions were a recurring theme for GCC member states during this period, reflecting a broader diplomatic investment in pan-Gulf identity projects.
KM#76 sees limited secondary market activity, suggesting modest original mintage and thin collector demand outside the Gulf region.
