This listing offers a bundle of ₹10 Reserve Bank of India notes from the Ashoka Pillar series — the pre-1996 design era that preceded today's Mahatma Gandhi series — bearing the signature of former RBI Governor Dr. C. Rangarajan, whose tenure (1992–1997) is well recognized among collectors of this design period.

The obverse displays the classic Ashoka Pillar series layout: a radiating sunburst star motif surrounding the "10" denomination at center, the Lion Capital of Ashoka on the right accompanied by the national motto "सत्यमेव जयते" (Truth Alone Triumphs), and the RBI's official promissory clause in both Hindi and English — "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER THE SUM OF TEN RUPEES." The Governor's signature and the RBI seal appear at the base of the note, consistent with the standard layout of this series.

The notes carry the serial number 58A 937301, printed in red at both the top-right and bottom-left corners. This bundle is presented in its original stapled/packed format, preserving the notes as issued and bundled — an important consideration for collectors and dealers who prioritize original, undisturbed condition when acquiring quantity lots.

Why this bundle matters to collectors:

• Ashoka Pillar series — represents an earlier chapter of RBI note design, prior to the 1996 shift to the Mahatma Gandhi series in circulation today
  
• C. Rangarajan signature — a specific, collector-recognized Governor signature variety, tied to a notable period in RBI's monetary history
  
• Distinctive sunburst/star design around the denomination, a hallmark of this series distinct from later Gandhi-portrait notes
  
• Bundle format offers efficient acquisition of multiple notes from the same signature series and serial range in a single purchase
  
• Growing scarcity — as older Ashoka Pillar series notes are progressively withdrawn from circulation, intact bundles become harder to find

Who this bundle is for

Ideal for collectors building a chronological set of RBI ₹10 notes across design eras, those specifically collecting C. Rangarajan signature-series notes, and dealers seeking verified bulk lots from a recognized Governor tenure.
