Own a remarkable and increasingly rare piece of India’s early post-independence currency with this 1960 ₹100 Note, bearing the signature of P. C. Bhattacharya, the 7th Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Notes from his tenure (1962–1967) are highly respected among collectors due to their classic design, robust paper quality, and limited surviving examples.
This early ₹100 issue features the traditional Republic India layout with the Ashoka Lion Capital prominently displayed on the obverse, along with intricate security patterns, watermark panel, and Bhattacharya’s signature. The reverse showcases the iconic sailing dhow / fishing boat vignette — a design admired for its artistic detailing and representation of India’s maritime heritage.
Highly collectible due to its age, governor signature, and elegant design, this note is a must-have for both beginner and advanced numismatists.
