Product details
This listing offers a full, sealed bundle of ₹50 Reserve Bank of India notes, featuring the Mahatma Gandhi series design and bearing the signature of former RBI Governor Dr. Raghuram G. Rajan, whose tenure (2013–2016) is fondly remembered among Indian currency collectors for its economic significance and relatively short but eventful term at the helm of the RBI.
Each note in this bundle carries the standard Mahatma Gandhi series design: the obverse depicts Gandhi's portrait alongside the Reserve Bank of India seal and the promissory clause "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER THE SUM OF FIFTY RUPEES," while the reverse (not shown) typically features the note's denominational imagery specific to this series. The notes carry the prefix serial 6CG, with this bundle running sequentially and ending at serial number 663901 — a detail that matters to serial-conscious collectors and dealers assembling sequential runs.
The bundle is presented in its original bank-wrapped format, preserving the notes exactly as issued and packed by the bank — an important factor for collectors and dealers who value unopened, uncirculated bundles for both authenticity and long-term storage integrity. Bundled notes in original wrap condition are increasingly preferred by serious collectors, as they confirm the notes have not been individually handled, counted, or circulated since leaving the bank.
What makes this bundle notable:
Why signature-series bundles matter to collectors
RBI Governor signatures serve as a key identification and collecting category within modern Indian banknotes — each Governor's tenure represents a distinct, datable signature variety. Bundles like this, kept intact and unopened since issue, are valued both for the convenience of acquiring a large, verified quantity in one purchase and for the collector confidence that comes from an untouched, original-condition pack.
This bundle is well suited for dealers looking to stock verified original-condition ₹50 notes, collectors building a Raghuram Rajan signature series set, or investors looking to acquire modern Indian currency in bulk, sequentially-numbered form.
