Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Riyal coin from Qatar is a unique and rare coin that features a bi-metallic design, with a outer ring made of copper-nickel and a center piece made of brass. This coin was minted in 2000 to commemorate the introduction of the new Qatari riyal currency, which replaced the old currency that had been in use since 1948. The coin features the iconic image of the national emblem of Qatar, a falcon, on one side, and the other side bears the inscription "Qatar Central Bank" in Arabic and English. The coin's bi-metallic design adds to its distinctiveness and makes it stand out from other coins in the region.
