Comments

The Qatar and Dubai Currency Board was a peculiar arrangement — a shared monetary authority between two separate sheikhdoms that had no political union and would ultimately go their separate ways, Qatar becoming independent in 1971 and Dubai folding into the UAE. The Board issued this series from 1960 under British supervision, with Bradbury Wilkinson handling production at their New Malden works, as they did for a substantial portion of Gulf and colonial currency through this period.

The 100 Riyal was the highest denomination in the series, making it rare in everyday hands. Qatar abandoned the shared arrangement entirely in 1973, replacing these notes with Qatar Riyal issues, at which point the Board's remaining stock was withdrawn.
