Watch List notes:

INDIA. Reserve Bank. 100 Rupees, ND (1959). P-R6. Haj Pilgrim Issue. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
Jhun6.13.2.1. The highlight note in this incredible run of the Haj Series. Each of the pieces in the series compliment each other wonderfully as there are very few differences among them in this Haj Pilgrim Issue. This example boasting a vibrant red color with orange and yellow hues throughout is one of only two certified at the Extremely Fine level by PMG with the other 9 examples in much worse condition. Prefix HA with HAJ arched on each side of the arched Reserve Bank of India cornice atop the note. Issuing office of Bombay noted on the bottom. H.V.R. IYENGAR signature at the Governor's panel.

Ashoka column serving as both the watermark and right vignette with noticeable lathework permeating throughout the design. Reserve Bank of India seal type 1 on the reverse with a type 4A language panel at center. 17.1 X 10.7 cm in size with just some pinholes which should be expected for the type and some stains to report that are noted on the holder.

This astonishing example is one of few treasures of not just Indian Banknotes, but World Banknotes that escape even the most prestigious of collections. The series in its entirety rivals that of the Zanzibar series, the PRC series, and German East African series on the rushmore of World Paper Notes due to their popularity, and degree of difficulty in completing. This note caps off the rarest of opportunities to own a complete set.

Estimate: $75000.00- $80000.00
