Qatar and Dubai riyal
The Qatar and Dubai riyal was the currency issued jointly by Qatar and Dubai from 1966 to 1973. It replaced the Gulf rupee after India devalued the rupee in 1966, and was itself replaced by the Qatari riyal in Qatar and by the UAE dirham in Dubai and the other emirates after the federation was formed.
