10 Rupees George VI Signed By C.D. Deshmukh British India – B

This 10 Rupees banknote was issued by the Reserve Bank of India in 1943 during the British India period under King George VI. Produced during World War II, the note reflects the economic and administrative framework of colonial India at a time of major global and regional change. It remained in circulation until its demonetization after Indian independence.

The obverse features a detailed portrait of King George VI along with ornate decorative patterns, multilingual inscriptions, and the official Reserve Bank of India guarantee text. Printed in attractive shades of red brown, violet, green, and orange, the design represents the refined artistic style of British Indian currency.

The reverse displays a scenic maritime design with a sailing vessel, symbolizing trade and commerce during the colonial era. Its elaborate engraving, historical wartime context, and strong connection to pre-independence India make this note a highly desirable collectible for world currency and British India collectors.
