India 500 & 1000 Rupees Withdrawn Circ Pair

India 500 & 1000 Rupees Withdrawn Circ Pair

In 2016, the Indian Prime Minister caused panic when he announced that the top banknote values of 500 and 1000 rupees were to be withdrawn from circulation. The time limit to pay in these high values was very limited. Ostensibly, the move was made to clamp down on tax evasion but the policy caused considerable consternation throughout the country and not just in the group the government was targeting. We recently purchased a group of these withdrawn 500 and 1000 rupees. They have seen light circulation but they are a reminder of this extraordinary period in Indian economic history.

India Uncut Sheet 10 Rupees x 4

This Indian banknote is a real treasure from World War II. A German bombing raid on Scotland led to the ship they were on sinking. The Bank of England had printed the watermarked paper for King George VI banknotes of India. The paper would be overprinted in India and used as money. The watermark shows the portrait of King George VI with the words ‘Reserve Bank of India’ and the denomination ‘Ten Rupees’. These banknote sheets were on the treasure ship for more than 50+ years. We bought the treasure ship that contained all the sheets. There was a great write up in IBNS Journal a few years back. We have had them cut into collectable sheets of four notes, which is a great size for display. Hold a light behind the sheet to see it in all its glory. India, World War II and treasure, what more could you want? We have seen the uncut sheet of 4 Indian banknotes bring £60-£65 each at auction. They probably bought them from us and then put them into auction... You can have them at our price and not the auction price.
