The Qatar and Dubai Currency Board was a short-lived authority, established in 1960 as a joint monetary arrangement between two Gulf sheikhdoms that had little else in common administratively. Qatar would go on to establish its own central bank after independence in 1971; Dubai, as part of the UAE federation formed that same year, moved to the UAE dirham. The Board's notes thus had an expiry built into the political structure from the start.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled the printing at their New Malden facility, the same works responsible for a significant portion of British colonial and Commonwealth currency output through this period. P#3 is the scarcer of the lower denominations in the series — genuine circulated examples with intact watermark areas are less common than the pick number suggests.
