The One rupee is now what is called the frozen series and there are no more issues of Rupee One. Its a good collectors item as one can complete the series, barring a few notes, the rest could have been collected from circulation. However if you are into the hobby now, you can get a set of 56 notes in the range of Rs 6K to 10K depending on the condition and the numbers on the note. There are some who match the last 3 digits of all the notes.

A1: 1949 KRK Menon

This is one of the rarest notes of the Republic India. An interesting fact is that initial few series of notes did not have the pin as well as there was no date on the back. The design for this one and the next issue was floral design on the back on the emblem. It was only in 1951 that the image of the rupee coin was adopted for design.





A2: 1950 K G Ambegoankar




A3: 1951 K G Ambegoankar



A4: 1951 K G Ambegoankar [Blue Ting]



A5: 1951 H M Patel, No Inset




A6: 1951 H M Patel, A Inset



A7: 1957 H M Patel, A Inset 



A8: 1957 H M Patel, A Inset  

 Title changed to Principal Secretary. This is the only time in the Rupee series that the sign of the finance secretary is changed to Principal Secretary. All other coin note have the title as Secretary.




A9: A K Roy, B Inset







A10: L K Jha, Y Inset B Prefix

Amongst one of the rare One Rupee note is the 1957, signed by LK Jha with Inset B and prefix Y.

    Hello ,
    First of all this article is really helpful for me as I'm an ardent coin and note collector .I'm pretty new in collecting coins / paper notes.In this section it has been mentioned the one rupee note signed by K. G. Ambegaonkar.But I checked in the RBI site and its something different .It's saying K G Ambegaonkar did not sign any bank notes.(The Url : http://www.rbi.org.in/History/Mis_Governors.html).I have one rupee note signed by K. G. Ambegaonkar.My question is : is the note signed by K. G. Ambegaonkar is fake ? Please explain ..

    Thanks ,
    Satya

      K G Ambegaokar did sign 1 rupee notes. Also if you know, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) doesn't make 1 rupee notes, the government of India does. This way 1 rupee notes are not made by any bank. Therefore it's true that G Ambegaokar has not signed any notes made by the RBI or any other bank. He has signed notes made by the Government of India.

    The One Rupee notes are signed by Secretary, Ministry of Finance and not the RBI Governor. KG Ambegaonkar as a Secretary signed the Rupee One notes. Subsequently he was the 3rd RBI Governor for 45 days till HV Iyengar was appointed. In his capacity as Governor he did not sign any notes.

      Do you want to buy them?
      If yes then there are various auction houses such as todywalla auctions and marudhar arts who auction these notes. Or you can find an independent dealer who sells republic Indian notes and purchase the articles you want

      You may join numismatics groups on facebook where a lot of people buy, sell and exchange their spares. I found a few of my missing notes through these groups.
