The Banknote Society
Product details
This is a complete sequential bundle of 100 consecutive ₹100 Agriculture Issue banknotes from the governorship of C. Rangarajan (RBI Governor 1992–1997), spanning the verified serial number range 7NT 355201 through 7NT 355300. This represents an exceptionally rare find in the secondary banknote market — a full run of 100 unbroken consecutive notes from a single print series, a category increasingly difficult to source as older bundles are subdivided or circulated.
The Agriculture Issue designation marks these notes as a specific variant within the Mahatma Gandhi series that emphasizes agricultural and rural development themes on the reverse, reflecting the RBI's focus on showcasing India's agrarian foundation during the early 1990s.
Design & Iconography:
The obverse features the Ashoka Lion Capital (Lion Capital of Sarnath) — India's national emblem — positioned prominently on the right panel, with the comprehensive multilingual language panel on the left displaying the denomination across 15 official Indian languages (Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Assamese, Oriya, Urdu, and others).
The reverse showcases the distinctive Agriculture Issue theme: irrigation infrastructure, cotton cultivation, farming equipment, and rural development symbolism — a deliberate design choice that distinguishes this variant from other Gandhi-series printings and reflects the RBI's commitment to representing India's agrarian economy in currency design.
