10 Rupees

Government of India,10 Rupees, Lahore, 17th October 1917, low serial number FC/28 00409,Issued at Lahore during the early decades of the twentieth century, this note forms part of the refined series distinguished by its elegant engraving and warm red underprint — a design introduced to replace the earlier green issues once confined to redemption at a single office. The change marked an important step toward a unified system of circulation across British India. The present example, with its low serial number and attractive colouration, offers collectors a note of genuine charm and historical depth. A graceful survivor from the later years of the George V period, it remains a representative piece of the transitional issues that bridged two eras of Indian banknote history.(Jhun&Rez 2A.2.3E.2, Pick A10q),in PMG holder 15 Choice Fine, paper damage, only 7 notes in higher grade on PMG censusSubject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
