Ashoka column serving as both the watermark and right vignette with noticeable lathe work 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. PMG comments "Staple Holes at Issue, Spindle Holes." PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
Estimate: $40000 - $50000
