The Gabiro (Gabrielt: Gabiro, IPA: ['gabiro], Arsyan: Kebbir, IPA: ['kebːɪr]) was the currency of Gabrielland between 1926 and 2018. The Gabrio was replaced by the Quasa, the multinational currency of the Dokodo Union. The Gabiro was unique in which it was not a decimal currency, rather being divided into 16 Zaka and 320 Baziak.

It was introduced in 1926 as the new currency of the recently formed union of Gabrielland and Arsya, replacing the Gabrielt Taga and the Arsyan Lirtta. The name Gabiro was agreed upon in the first parliamentary meeting of the union on the 19th of April 1926 as a combination of the Gabrielt word gaba meaning "money" and the Arsyan word kvirro, also meaning money. The Gabiro replaced the Taga at a rate of 1:16, while the Arsyan Lirtta at a rate of 1:320, hence the undecimal form of the currency.

On the 1st of January 2018, the Gabiro was replaced by the Quasa at a rate of 0.28376 ɢ = 1 Q. Gabiro banknotes would still be able to be replaced until the 1st of January 2028 at par.
