| Comments |
Qatar Central Bank introduced tactile marks for the visually impaired on its banknote series well ahead of most Gulf states, reflecting a broader accessibility push that coincided with Qatar's preparations for expanded international scrutiny during the 2010s. The feature on the 1 Riyal is a raised element at the left edge of the obverse — functional rather than decorative, and easy to distinguish from the note's other surface textures.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement with Qatari currency dates back to the Qatar and Dubai Currency Board issues of the 1960s, making this a long-running commercial relationship.
