These coins will be in circulation from the “second half” of this month, a QCB announcement said. Also, these will be in “circulation side by side” with the current coins.
QCB said, “These coins will have the same specifications of the currently used coins with minor amendments.”
The amendments include English letters for numbers on the top of the coin, change in font for the coin value and change in the English font (State of Qatar) on the back of the coin.
On the face of the coin, the year of production has been mentioned on top and there is a change in the Arabic font (State of Qatar).
