This is a PMCS-certified ₹10 Reserve Bank of India note graded 64 UNC, carrying one of the most emotionally meaningful fancy serial numbers in currency collecting: 01A 000143 — instantly recognizable as "143," the widely known numeric code for "I Love You" (1 letter for "I," 4 letters for "Love," 3 letters for "You"). This makes the note far more than a numismatic curiosity; it's a genuinely giftable piece with sentimental significance, appealing to collectors and non-collectors alike — ideal for anniversaries, weddings, Valentine's Day gifts, or as a meaningful keepsake for someone special.

The note is officially catalogued by PMCS (Paper Money Certification Services) as Pick# 102ag, a 2016-dated issue with plate letter L, bearing the signature of Dr. Urjit R. Patel, who served as Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 2016 to 2018. It features the Mahatma Gandhi watermark and portrait, consistent with the Mahatma Gandhi series design used since 1996, along with the Ashoka Pillar emblem and the standard promissory clause: "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER THE SUM OF TEN RUPEES."

The grade of 64 UNC confirms the note is in high-quality uncirculated condition — crisp, with strong original color and no evidence of folding or circulation wear — sealed permanently in PMCS's protective certification holder, with the certification label displaying full note details: country, denomination, Pick number, date, plate letter, serial number, watermark, and signatory, along with the assigned grade.

Why this note is special:

• "143" — I Love You serial number — one of the most widely recognized and emotionally resonant fancy numbers in circulation, making this note a meaningful gift as much as a collectible
  
• Genuinely scarce serial pattern — fancy numbers like 143 are found on only a tiny fraction of any print run, and finding one already certified and graded is rarer still
  
• PMCS certification and grading — third-party verified authenticity and condition, eliminating any guesswork for buyers
  
• Urjit R. Patel signature — ties the note to a specific RBI Governor tenure (2016–2018), adding a modern signature-series collecting angle
  
• 64 UNC grade — confirms top-tier crisp condition, ideal for gifting or display
  
• Pick# 102ag classification — precise cataloguing reference for serious collectors

Who this note is for

Perfect for someone buying a meaningful, certified keepsake gift for a loved one, collectors specifically pursuing fancy/sentimental serial numbers, or anyone building a certified modern RBI signature-series collection who wants a note with a story behind the numbers.
