| Additional information |
Qatar's first independent coinage followed the dissolution of the Qatar and Dubai Currency Board in 1973, when Qatar established the Qatar Monetary Agency to issue currency solely in its own name. The 1973 series, of which this is the largest bronze piece, marked the first time Qatar had exercised fully independent monetary authority — Dubai had by then joined the UAE and adopted the dirham of that federation instead.
