The George V 100 rupee, Madras issue, a scarce note in any grade, these are well above average and as a point of interest the typeface font of Madras markedly different on consecutive notes, one small print, one large print. This could be an error or change of font between printing, either way most unusual. A superb pair and an unusual opportunity for collectors (2).
