Currency history:

Bahrain was an independent Sheikdom and British protectorate from December 2, 1880 until it gained its independence on August 16, 1971.

Indian Rupees (INR) circulated in Bahrain until April 28, 1959, when the Persian Gulf Rupee (XPGR), issued by the Reserve Bank of India, was created for use in the Persian Gulf. The Indian Rupee was divisible into 16 Annas, and the Persian Gulf Rupee was divisible into 100 Naye Paise. In October 1965, the Bahraini Dinar (BHD) replaced the Persian Gulf Rupee at the rate of 1 Bahrain Dinar equal to 10 Persian Gulf Rupees. The Dinar is divisible into 1000 Fils. Banknotes were issued by the Bahrain Currency Board from 1964 until 1973, and by the Bahrain Monetary Agency from 1973 on.
