The Bosphorus colonies were originally an area of the British Malay Archipelago. In 187, the Indian rupee became the only official currency in the Bosphorus colonies as it became part of British India. The move was opposed by local residents. However, the Spanish dollar continued to spread, and in 1845 a coin was introduced into the Straits colonies using the 100 percent = 1 dollar dollar system, suitable for the Spanish dollar or the Mexican peso. In 1867, the Bosphorus Settlement Administration was recalled from India, and thus the Bosphorus dollar became a high quality currency, and attempts to reprint the rupee were eventually abandoned.
The Government of India introduced the Gulf Rupee, also known as the Persian Gulf, to replace the Indian Rupee with the Federal Reserve Bank Act of May 1, 1959 for foreign trade.

After the devaluation of the rupee by India on June 6, 1966, these countries still used it – Oman, Qatar and thus the real countries exchanged the Gulf rupee for their own money. Kuwait and Bahrain in 1961 in Kuwaiti dinars and in 1965 in Bahraini dinars.
