It has been ruled, under multiple guises, by the same ruling family since 1868. Between 1871-1915 it was under the de-facto control of the Ottoman Empire and from 1916-1971 was a British protectorate.\u00a0<\/p><p>During the British Protectorate era, the country used the Gulf Rupee, a currency that was first strongly connected with Sterling and then with India and their Rupee. Other Gulf nations like Kuwait, Bahrain and the UAE also used this currency.<\/p><p>In the 60s, Qatar first replaced the Gulf Rupee with the new Saudi Riyal and then entered into a treaty with Dubai to create the Qatar and Dubai riyal. When Dubai joined the UAE in 1973, the Qatari Riyal as we know it today came into existence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8038e0d elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8038e0d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-045cc02\" data-id=\"045cc02\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9287c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d9287c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Coins and Banknotes\u2026<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf75382 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf75382\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When the currency was first introduced, it was subdivided into 100 dirhams.
