Banknotes Dating Back to Early 1800s
Explore The Collection
Officially known as ‘Osmania Sicca Rupees’, this series of notes were issued by the Princely State of Hyderabad during the onset of World War I due to the shortage of silver.
Issued in honour of King George V and King George VI of England, this series signified the dominance of British rule in India.
The notes issued after India’s independence had the Ashoka Pillar motif. These notes were initially issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 100 Rupees.
The initial uniface notes of these series were first issued in the Portuguese occupied territories of Goa, Daman & Diu and subsequently in Dadra and Nagar Haveli after the Anglo-Portuguese convention of 1880.
