| Additional information |
Qatar introduced a revised dirham coinage series in 2006 following the Central Bank's reorganization of the country's monetary infrastructure ahead of rapid economic expansion tied to liquefying natural gas exports. The non-magnetic bronze specification for this denomination distinguishes it from earlier issues and from contemporaneous regional coinage, a deliberate choice to ease compatibility with automated payment systems being installed across Gulf commercial sectors at the time.
