The “proofs” were sold for $15 each. The 5 Rupees were equal to $1.05 - There was no indication that any of these coins entered circulation in Sharjah - Gulf Rupee was the currency of the trucial states between 1959-1966 in the form of paper money issued by the Government of India - In June 1965, Sheikh Saqr III bin Sultan Al Qasimi was banished by the British into exile, and he stayed in Cairo, Egypt - It was issued before the ban on heikh Saqr III bin Sultan Al Qasimi, who ordered the minting of the coin. - On 6 June 1966, India devalued the rupee. To avoid following this devaluation, several of the states using the rupee adopted their own currencies. Qatar and most of the Trucial States adopted the Qatar and Dubai riyal, while Abu Dhabi adopted the Bahraini dinar. Only Oman continued to use the Gulf rupee, until 1970, with the government backing the currency at its old peg to the pound. Oman replaced the Gulf rupee with its own rial in 1970.
