Frequently asked questions
What periods of Indian banknotes are represented in this shop’s catalog?
This shop’s India category represents issues dated from 1957 through 2016, rather than every banknote issued by India. The records include notes from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Examples range from 1957 issues such as Pick 33, Pick 35b and Pick 75c to later references including Pick 102a from 2011 and Pick 117b from 2016. Some listings use date ranges, including 1977/82, 1985/90 and 2002/8.
Which rupee denominations and Pick references appear in the India category?
The shop’s India catalog includes 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 rupee notes. The 1-rupee group includes references such as Pick 66, 75c, 77a, 77r, 77v, 78Ab–78Aj and 117b. Other represented groups include Pick 53 and 79 for 2 rupees, Pick 80, 88A and 94A for 5 rupees, several Pick 60, 81, 88, 89, 90, 95 and 102 varieties for 10 rupees, plus Pick 82e, 84 variants and 91g.
How can I identify the specific variety of an Indian banknote in this catalog?
Use the complete Pick reference first, including every letter or suffix. Similar Indian notes may be cataloged as Pick 53Aa, 53Ac or 53Ae, while other groups include references such as 78Ad, 78Ae, 78Ag and 78Ah. Then compare any listed signature number and letter. For example, the catalog distinguishes signature numbers 83, 85, 86, 87, 88 and 90, and some records specify letters such as A, C, E, L, Q, R or T. These details help separate closely related catalog varieties.
What collecting features should I record for India banknotes from this category?
A useful catalog record should include the denomination, stated issue year or date range, full Pick reference, signature number, letter where supplied and listed grade. The India category contains grades including UNC, XF and VF, as well as at least one listing explicitly marked “Staples.” Because some Indian banknotes may have staples, that characteristic should be checked and recorded separately rather than inferred from the Pick number alone. For grouped material, also note whether the listing is for a single note or a banknote lot.
What should a buyer check before choosing an India banknote listing?
Check the full title and description for the denomination, Pick reference, signature, letter, grade and any mention of staples. Many India listings state that the image is for reference and that the banknote number shown in the image will not be the number supplied. Other records state that the banknote or banknotes correspond with the image. Buyers should therefore rely on the wording of the individual listing to understand whether the photograph is representative or depicts the specific item, and should not identify a variety from the serial number pictured alone.
Why are there so many different 10-rupee references and letter varieties in this India catalog?
The 10-rupee notes form a notably varied group in this shop’s India catalog. Represented references include Pick 60Ac, 60Aa, 60k, 81g, 81h, 88a, 88b, 89a, 89e, 89g, 89k, 89l, 89n, 89o, 89Ab, 89Ac, 90e, 95p and 102a. Listings distinguish these notes through complete Pick suffixes, signature numbers and, in some cases, letters. Examples include signature 88 with letters A, L, Q, R or T, as well as signature 90 varieties. These identifiers should be compared together.
