INDIA. Reserve Bank. 10000 Rupees, ND (1960). P-50As. Specimen. PMG About Uncirculated 55.
Jhun6.11.2-3. Bombay. This note is one of the true treasures of India, and one of the highlights in this extremely collectible section of Indian Banknotes that we are offering. A key piece to even the most advanced of collections, with museum like allure due to its rarity as the sole example certified by PMG. Containing just a hint of circulation, but maintaining all pertinent detail with exquisite centering. Arched Reserve Bank of India on top with an Ashoka pillar at center, and serving as the left side's watermark. Rs/10000/Rs watermark at right. H.V.R Iyengar signature at the Governor's Panel.

A language panel in Center on the reverse with the Reserve Bank of India arched above. Reserve Bank of India seal at bottom center with Dus Hajaar Rupaye in Hindi below the right watermark, and Ten Thousand Rupees below the left. Reserve Bank of India Seal type 1, with a type 4 language panel. The notes dimensions are 18.6 x 11.4 cm.

Issued notes of the type are very scarce since being demonetized as the majority were returned to banks, and their value was simply too high for the time to not be redeemed by most. This Specimen variety, being the only known example, hasn't surfaced in over half a decade, and is the first of its kind we have offered. This remarkable opportunity should bring excitement to the collecting community as a rare chance to own one of the true wonders of Indian paper money.



Estimate: $150000.00- $175000.00
