Qatari Rial to Japanese Yen

The Qatari riyal (sign QR, code QAR) is the official currency issued and accepted within the emirate-state of Qatar. The Qatari riyal is subdivided into dirhams. Every QAR has 100 dirhams.

The currency appeared in 1973 replacing the previous currency – the Qatar and Dubai riyal. This necessity to issue its own value was due to the fact that Dubai joined the United Arab Emirates. In 2017, the currency suffered from a large-scale inflation. However, the rate has stabilized itself.

The Japanese yen (international symbol: ¥, code: JPY, number 392) is the national currency of Japan and is in issuance continuously since 1871. The yen is on the list of world reserve currencies and used in the IMF system. Yen derives from the Japanese word “en”, meaning "round" it is also close to the Chinese "yuan".

One yen is subdivided into 100 “sen”. However, coins in denominations of less than one yen became invalid in the middle of the 20th century. Today “sen” can only be used in the format of mathematical calculations. The banknotes depict the intellectual elite of Japan, and not political figures.
