500 Rupees Grey Signed By Governer Bimal Jalan

Description

This ₹500 banknote was issued by the Reserve Bank of India between 1997 and 2000 as part of India’s modern currency series. It remained in circulation until the historic demonetization of 8 November 2016, making it an important piece linked to a major economic event in contemporary India.

The obverse features a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, along with the Reserve Bank of India seal and official promise text in both Hindi and English. The design uses a grey-toned color scheme, with security elements and clear denomination markings enhancing both functionality and visual identity.

On the reverse, the note displays detailed artwork reflecting India’s cultural and national themes, combined with intricate patterns typical of modern banknote printing. Its connection to the 2016 demonetization and its widespread use make it a highly interesting and collectible note for modern currency enthusiasts.
