| Obverse description | The obverse features the State of Qatar coat of arms at centre, depicting a traditional dhow vessel flanked by crossed swords on a stylised sea, encircled by an inner ring bearing the Arabic legend 'دولة قطر' (State of Qatar). Surrounding the central device is an ornate geometric lattice border inspired by traditional Islamic arabesque architectural motifs, rendered in high relief. At the top of the coin, the official FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 logo — a stylised infinity form — appears prominently above the inscription 'FIFA WORLD CUP Qatar 2022' in the upper field. Along the lower exergue, the legend '1 OZ · 999 SILVER · 2022' records the coin's fineness, weight, and date. |

| Additional information |
Qatar's Central Bank has issued a number of commemorative silver pieces in recent years tied to the country's accelerating international profile, most visibly the 2022 FIFA World Cup — the first held in the Middle East and the first in November–December rather than the traditional summer schedule, shifted to avoid Qatar's extreme summer heat. Whether this piece relates directly to that event isn't confirmed by the KM reference alone, but the timing is not coincidental.
