This listing offers a bundle of ₹2 Reserve Bank of India notes from the Ashoka Pillar series, representing one of the most historically significant denominations in Indian currency: the ₹2 note has been discontinued from circulation and is no longer printed by the RBI, making surviving bundles like this increasingly important for collectors documenting the complete range of independent India's currency history.

The obverse displays the classic Ashoka Pillar series design: the Lion Capital of Ashoka emblem, accompanied by the national motto "सत्यमेव जयते" (Truth Alone Triumphs), and the Reserve Bank of India's official promissory clause — "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER THE SUM OF TWO RUPEES." The left panel carries the language panel, listing the denomination across multiple official Indian languages, a hallmark identification feature of this design era.

The reverse of the note features the iconic satellite design, depicting a stylized satellite in orbit above a globe — widely believed to represent India's early achievements in space technology, most notably associated with the Aryabhata satellite, India's first satellite. This satellite motif is one of the most recognizable and celebrated reverse designs in Indian numismatic history, and its presence significantly boosts the collectibility of ₹2 notes from this series, as it visually commemorates a landmark moment in India's scientific and technological progress.

The notes in this bundle carry the serial number 72G 390401, printed in black at the bottom-right corner, along with the Reserve Bank of India's official emblem seal. The bundle is presented in its original wrapped format, preserving the notes as issued and packed.

Why this bundle matters to collectors and dealers:

• Discontinued denomination — the ₹2 note is no longer issued by the RBI, making this bundle a documented piece of currency that will not be reprinted or reissued
  
• Satellite reverse design — one of the most iconic and actively sought-after reverse motifs in Indian banknote history, symbolizing India's early space program achievements
  
• Ashoka Pillar series — represents the pre-1996 design era, predating the Mahatma Gandhi series in circulation today
  
• Language panel design — a distinctive, collector-recognized feature listing the denomination across numerous Indian languages
  
• Bundle format offers efficient acquisition of multiple notes from the same series and serial range in a single purchase — valuable for dealers stocking inventory or collectors building a complete denomination set
  
• Increasing scarcity — as discontinued low-denomination notes are the first to disappear from circulation and collector inventories, intact bundles are becoming genuinely hard to find

Who this bundle is for

Ideal for collectors completing a full denominational set of Reserve Bank of India notes (including discontinued values), those specifically collecting the satellite-reverse design series, dealers seeking verified bulk stock of a scarce no-longer-issued denomination, or anyone building an archive of independent India's currency and scientific history.
