100 Rupees Fafda Signed By Governer P.C. Bhattacharya

Description

This 100 Rupees banknote was issued by the Reserve Bank of India between 1960 and 1967 during the early decades of the Republic of India. Introduced in the post-decimalisation period, it served as one of the country’s principal high-denomination notes and reflected India’s growing economy and modernization during the 1960s.

The obverse features the Ashoka Pillar, the national emblem of India, along with ornate guilloche patterns, multilingual inscriptions, and the classic Reserve Bank promise text. Printed in deep lavender and multicolour tones, the note showcases the elegant engraving style that characterizes vintage Indian paper currency.

The reverse depicts the Hirakud Dam and Hydroelectric Power Station, one of independent India’s landmark infrastructure projects symbolizing progress and nation-building. Its impressive large format, intricate artwork, and historical importance make this banknote a prized addition to collections of Indian and world paper currency.
