The Gabiro (Gabrielt: Gabiro, IPA: ['gabiro], Arsyan: Kebbir, IPA: ['kebːɪr]) is the currency of Gabrielland.

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. In 1976, the Dzakwanist government abolished money, and the Gabrio ceased to become legal tender in Dzakwanist Gabrielland. It was kept as the official currency of the newly-formed Arsyan Republic until the 1st of January 1977 until it was replaced by the Arsyan Lirtta, which would become the currency until 1985 when it was replaced with the Convertible Lirtta. The Gabiro was reintroduced on the 1st of January 2000, replacing the Convertible Lirtta at par.

The Gabrielt Gabiro has seen several banknote series being released into general circulation. A total of 9 separate banknote families have been released between 1926 and 2018, with the latest series being released in 2018. A 10th series is scheduled to be released in 2024.

9th "Sontuvian" series (2017)

The 11th series of the Gabiro, more colloquiall known as the "Sontuvian" series after Finance Minister Gahttari Sontuvia, was first commissioned by the Central Bank of Gabrielland and Arsya around October of 2012, with a press report dated 15 October 2012 detailing the central bank's plan to further increase the safety and security of the Gabiro, as well as to keep the fresh look of the Gabiro. Overall, the general color scheme of the 11th series was kept the same, however with more stark and brighter colors to help differentiate between bills quicker. 4 of the 6 figures from the previous series were retained, with the 2 and 100 Gabiro being changed. The new banknotes featured more than 18 security features, which is a massive improvement from the previous series which had only basic features.

The 11th series has been criticized by many as being abnormally big, with the largest banknote, the 100 Gabiro, measuring more than 20 centimeters in length. Cost was also a major issue within the public space, after an annual report by the central bank declared that the banknotes were 3 times more expensive than the previous series. The central bank has claimed that these measures were necessary to combat the increasing amount of illegitimate bills circulating around Gabrielland.

The series maintains the denominations found in previous bill, and carries the imprint "2013-2017".
